The Maharashtra Real Estate Regulatory Authority (MahaRERA) has extended completion timelines for registered projects by four months, citing force majeure due to the West Asia conflict. Projects whose original or revised completion dates fall on or after February 28, 2026, qualify for the automatic extension, while those registered on or after August 1, 2026, are excluded. The order, effective immediately, follows a July 31 advisory from the Union Housing and Urban Affairs Ministry asking state regulators to grant relief over supply-chain disruptions. The Times of India notes the extension could push back possession for homebuyers by up to four months. Industry bodies such as NAREDCO Maharashtra have welcomed the move as a balanced step.
