• Haryana RERA and UP-RERA have approved real estate projects worth over INR 35,000 crore, strengthening the development pipeline in both states.
• Haryana RERA's Gurugram bench cleared 51 projects, while UP-RERA approved 14 projects spread across seven districts.
• The approvals will add more than 20,000 residential, commercial and industrial units, boosting housing supply and planned urban development.
• Both regulators continue to tighten project scrutiny, improve transparency and speed up grievance redressal to protect homebuyers.
Real estate project approvals in Haryana and Uttar Pradesh have crossed INR 35,000 crore, reflecting continued development activity in two of North India's key property markets. The latest approvals by Haryana RERA and UP-RERA are expected to increase the supply of residential and commercial properties while ensuring that projects move ahead under stricter regulatory oversight. The approvals also indicate that developers continue to invest in large-scale housing and mixed-use developments despite tighter compliance requirements.
The Gurugram bench of Haryana RERA approved 51 real estate projects during the first six months of the year, involving investments of nearly USD 4 billion. Of these, 11 major projects alone account for investments of around INR 25,000 crore, highlighting the continued demand for large integrated developments in Gurugram.
These approved projects will together add 16,727 units, including 15,403 residential units, 1,084 commercial units and 240 industrial units. The authority said the approvals reflect sustained confidence among developers and investors in Gurugram, which continues to remain one of India's busiest real estate markets across residential, office and mixed-use developments.
The latest approvals build on the strong momentum witnessed last year, when Haryana RERA approved 131 projects with investments of nearly INR 87,000 crore. The authority has been focusing on balancing faster project approvals with stronger compliance measures to improve transparency and safeguard homebuyers' interests.
To strengthen regulation, Haryana RERA has introduced stricter scrutiny of documents submitted by promoters before granting project registration. It has also made site inspections by domain experts mandatory, required developers to submit quarterly progress reports and introduced public notices inviting objections before project registration. Alongside these measures, the regulator has worked on reducing the backlog of complaints to ensure quicker dispute resolution and faster relief for homebuyers.
Meanwhile, UP-RERA approved 14 real estate projects with a proposed investment of INR 2,285.68 crore during its 204th Authority meeting. The projects are spread across seven districts and are expected to add nearly 3,548 residential and commercial units, supporting planned urban growth and expanding housing supply in the state.
Among the approved developments, one residential project in Varanasi received approval with an investment of INR 9.74 crore and will comprise 17 units. Another residential project in Barabanki, involving an investment of INR 60.25 crore, was also cleared and will add 144 units. The remaining projects are located across other districts and include a mix of residential and commercial developments.
Both Haryana RERA and UP-RERA have continued to strengthen their regulatory frameworks since the implementation of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016. Over the years, the authorities have increasingly focused on timely project registration, monitoring construction progress, ensuring financial discipline among developers and protecting homebuyers through greater transparency and accountability.
