The order, signed by the Authority’s secretary Vasant Prabhu, states, “Due to the lockdown, the supply chains for obtaining construction material have been disrupted and labour workforce may have migrated back to their home states.

Due to these circumstances, real estate projects across Maharashtra will take some time to restart work.
Therefore, in order to aid government efforts in controlling the damage of COVID-19 and ensure that completion of MahaRERA registered projects does not get adversely affected, an extension has been given to the projects.”
