The Haryana Real Estate Regulatory Authority (HRERA), Gurugram, has directed Imperia Structures Ltd to pay approximately INR 55 lakh as compensation to homebuyers for loss of property appreciation due to delayed possession in its The Esfera project in Sector 37C, Gurugram. The order also includes additional payments towards mental agony and litigation costs. The buyers had booked the unit in 2013, with possession due by 2017, but faced prolonged delays. HRERA noted that the developer's failure to adhere to timelines resulted in financial loss linked to rising property values in the micro-market. The ruling reinforces the authority's approach of awarding compensation beyond refunds in cases of prolonged project delays.Read more
