# DTCP cancels Ocean Seven licence for Gurugram project 2026-08-13T16:09:22+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Haryana Directorate of Town and Country Planning (DTCP) has cancelled the licence of Ocean Seven Buildtech for its Expressway Towers affordable housing project in Gurugram's Sector 109. The August 7 order cites prolonged delays, non-compliance, and lack of substantial construction since the licence was first granted in June 2016. The Expressway Towers Gurgaon Buyers Association, which had petitioned the government in March, welcomed the move. DTCP has ordered the land and buildings to vest with the government and barred further alienation. The department noted that funds collected from homebuyers appeared to have been diverted. An FIR was registered in August 2025, and the Enforcement Directorate is investigating. The buyers are now pushing for Rule 19 implementation, which could appoint a third-party agency to complete the stalled project. ## Coverage - realty.economictimes.indiatimes.com Tags: DTCP, Gurugram, homebuyers, licence cancellation, Ocean Seven Buildtech, real estate Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/dtcp-cancels-ocean-seven-licence-for-gurugram-project/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
