Supertech homebuyers from 16 incomplete housing projects in Greater Noida protested outside the developer’s office on Saturday and warned that they would approach the Supreme Court and march to Parliament if construction does not begin soon.
The projects are under a completion process involving the National Buildings Construction Corporation Limited (NBCC), which was appointed as the project management consultant after directions from the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT). Buyers said more than a year and a half has passed since the process began, but construction has not started at the projects.
According to the report, NCLAT directed NBCC on December 12, 2024, to complete the process of awarding contracts within one month. Construction was subsequently expected to begin from May 1, 2025. The process was not completed within that timeline.
Following the delay, the tribunal revised the deadline on May 6, 2026, after intervention by the Supreme Court. It set July 31, 2026, as the strict deadline for completing the necessary process. Homebuyers said this deadline has also passed without construction beginning.
Abhishek Kumar, president of the Noida Extension Flat Owners Welfare Association, said the projects had remained unchanged for the past 21 months. He alleged that even after the projects were handed over to an apex committee and NBCC was appointed as the project management consultant, tenders had not been issued.
Kumar further alleged that money paid by homebuyers was being spent each month on committee remuneration, consultancy fees and the fees of the amicus curiae, while there was no visible progress on the ground. These claims were made by the buyers during the protest and were not independently verified in the report.
The Supreme Court had assigned amicus curiae Rajiv Jain the responsibility of monitoring implementation by the committee and NBCC and submitting progress reports to the court. Homebuyers alleged that the amicus curiae, the apex committee and NBCC were not providing them with accurate or accessible information about the status of the 16 projects.
Buyers who attended the protest said they had sent several emails to Rajiv Jain, the apex committee and NBCC seeking meetings, but had not received a concrete response. They demanded that the committee and NBCC publish a clear construction schedule and start work immediately.
The dispute reflects the continuing difficulty of completing stalled housing projects after a developer’s financial or legal troubles have interrupted construction. For buyers, the delay affects possession, household finances and confidence in the institutional mechanism created to complete the projects.
The protesters warned that they would march to Parliament and organise a demonstration at Jantar Mantar if the amicus curiae and the apex committee did not meet them and address their concerns about construction progress. The buyers are also preparing to approach the Supreme Court over the delay.
