The Maharashtra Real Estate Regulatory Authority (MahaRERA) on Friday announced a blanket four-month extension for registered housing projects across the state, citing delays caused by the ongoing West Asia war.

The extension will automatically apply to all eligible projects without requiring developers to submit a separate application.

According to MahaRERA, the extension covers all registered housing projects whose original, revised or previously extended completion date falls on or after February 28, 2026.

Developers will not have to apply individually, as the additional four months will be granted automatically.

Decision based on govt directions

MahaRERA said the order has been issued following directions from the Union Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs to all Real Estate Regulatory Authorities across India.

The ministry asked state regulators to provide relief to housing projects affected by disruptions arising from the conflict in West Asia.

Construction material shortage

The ongoing conflict has disrupted global supply chains, resulting in shortages of key construction materials and affecting project timelines across the real estate sector.

The four-month extension is intended to ease the impact of these delays and help developers complete projects without facing regulatory penalties.

Support for real estate sector

MahaRERA said the decision is aimed at supporting Maharashtra's real estate sector, which has faced challenges due to supply disruptions linked to the West Asia conflict.

The authority expects the automatic extension to reduce the compliance burden on developers while allowing projects additional time for completion.
