DLF's Mumbai project set to launch soon as RERA gives green light to first phase with 416 premium apartments

DLF has received approval from the Maharashtra Real Estate Regulatory Authority (MahaRERA) for the first phase of its upcoming premium residential project in Mumbai's Andheri area. The approved phase will comprise 416 apartments across four towers.
Sources told HT.com that the RERA approval was granted on June 16, and the project is expected to be launched soon.
DLF announced its re-entry into the Mumbai real estate market in July 2023. The company's first project in the city will be developed in partnership with the Trident Group under the Slum Rehabilitation Authority scheme.
In 2005, DLF had purchased 17 acres of prime mill land in Lower Parel at a National Textile Corporation auction for ₹704 crore, the highest bid at the time. After the 2008 economic crisis, it changed its plans and sold the land to Lodha, also known as Macrotech Developers, for ₹2,700 crore in 2012.

The approved first phase of DLF's 'The WestPark' project in Andheri comprises 3, 4 and 5 BHK apartments across four towers, along with a limited number of studio units.
As per details on the MahaRERA portal, the 3, 4, and 5 BHK apartments range in size from 1,048 sq. ft. to 2,278 sq. ft., while the five studio units measure approximately 236 sq. ft. each.
The project's proposed completion date is June 2032. The four RERA-approved towers are planned for a plot area of 7,788 sq. metres.
Meanwhile, an email query has been sent to DLF. If a response is received, the story will be updated.

Ahead of its first project launch in the Mumbai real estate market, DLF's joint managing director Aakash Ohri said in March 2025 that the company is 'careful, cautious, and confident' but not 'overconfident' about the upcoming launch.
Speaking about the launch of the Mumbai project, Ohri had said, "Doubt is the last thing on my mind. I can promise you very, very clearly, no doubt at all, we are very excited, extremely excited about new geography and new challenges. We are confident and not overconfident."
"I am just careful and cautious. To be cautious cannot be misconstrued as having doubt. If I had a doubt, I would never enter any market," he had said.
In September 2024, Ohri had told HT.com that DLF is here to stay in Mumbai and everyone is our competitor.

"Right now, I will say that everyone is our competitor in Mumbai. I am coming from outside, and I have to say this. The company will essentially do what other developers are doing in the Mumbai real estate market when it comes to real estate projects. But what we will do differently is that we will package our product differently," Ohri had told HT.com

RERA Karnataka: What Every Property Buyer Should Know

Buying a property is one of the most important decisions of our lives. Given the rising cost of property, it is a huge achievement for many as they are investing a significant amount of their hard-earned money into it. So, while making such a huge investment, it is important that you want it to be safe, legal, and worth your money. Several problems like delays in project completion, unauthorized construction, difference between actual and promised carpet area, and more are common while purchasing a property. To avoid such issues, the Real Estate Regulation Authority (RERA) came into existence as per the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act in 2016 to control the real estate industry in India. The main purpose of this was to bring transparency and fairness to the real estate sector in India. Karnataka was one of the first states to adopt it, making it safer for homebuyers to invest in property. If you're planning to buy a property in Karnataka, understanding RERA and its benefits can save you from future stress. Here's everything you need to know. What is RERA and Why Was It Introduced? Buying a home is not as easy as it was before. It comes with various challenges like high property rates, hidden costs, project delays and more. That's when RERA comes into the picture. It is a law that aims to protect the interests of homebuyers and bring discipline to the real estate industry. It makes it mandatory for builders and real estate agents to register their projects with the state RERA authority. In Karnataka, this body is called K-RERA (Karnataka Real Estate Regulatory Authority). Thanks to RERA, builders must now follow strict rules, ensuring better accountability and transparency. Benefits of Implementing the RERA Act No more Delay in Projects by the Builders - One of the biggest issues homebuyers face is project delays. With RERA, builders must complete the project by the promised date. If they don't, they must pay compensation to the buyer. So assured timely project delivery is a guarantee with RERA. No Extra Charge for the excess Area - RERA has banned the concept of "super built-up area" for pricing. Builders can only charge based on the carpet area, which gives you better clarity on what you're paying for. More Transparency - RERA requires builders to upload all details of the project—like layout plans, completion dates, and legal clearances on the K-RERA website. This helps buyers make informed decisions. Builders will be Responsible for any Defects in Construction - If there are any structural defects within five years of possession, the builder must fix them at no extra cost. You have your Refund Rights - If the builder fails to deliver the project on time or violates the terms, buyers have the right to ask for a full refund along with interest. How RERA Protects Home Buyers Many people put their hard-earned life savings into buying a property. While investing in such a huge amount it is important to be smart and do proper research about it like – Am I investing in a legally approved project, what can I do if the builder fails to fulfil his promise and other important issues. In today's time, buying a property without RERA approval is risky. A non-RERA registered project might not follow the legal standards, leading to future problems with ownership, construction quality, or delivery time. RERA protects home buyers by giving them a more transparent view of their investment. All project details including sanctioned plans, status of approvals, and timelines are submitted to the RERA by the builders giving the buyers a clear view. Another common issue faced by home buyers is that they did not have a place or platform to raise their concerns about the builder. RERA provides a fast-track grievance redressal system. If any buyer faces an issue, they can lodge a complaint online and get justice without long court delays. Say goodbye to false promotion as builders cannot advertise or sell projects without RERA approval for real estate. Any misleading advertisements can lead to penalties and project cancellation. RERA has truly been an Act that has transformed the real estate landscape in Karnataka. In today's world where the market is full of fake advertisements and false promises, RERA comes as a saviour for home buyers. So, always look for RERA-compliant flats in Karnataka and take time to understand the RERA registration benefits Karnataka offers.

Himachal HC pulls up Sukhu govt over delay in appointing of RERA chief

The Himachal Pradesh high court (HC) on Friday pulled up the state government over delay in appointment of the Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) chief and asked it to issue notification for the post of chairman and other members by June 25. The court asked the state government that the notification for the posts of RERA chairman and its member must be issued by June 25, warning that the state's conduct appeared to be a deliberate attempt to stall justice. (File) The court verbally announced a fine of ₹ 5 lakh on the government for the delay. The detailed order is awaited. The directions were issued by the division bench of chief justice Gurmeet Singh Sandhawalia and justice Ranjan Sharma during the resumed hearing of a public interest litigation (PIL) regarding delay in appointments of RERA chief and members. The court asked the state government that the notification for the posts of RERA chairman and its member must be issued by June 25, warning that the state's conduct appeared to be a deliberate attempt to stall justice. 'The government is playing hide and seek—first citing the shifting of RERA headquarters to Dharamshala— and now delaying appointments under the pretext of procedural issues,' the bench said. The court also expressed regret that despite being asked on May 9 whether appointments had been notified, the government had failed to act decisively. During Friday's proceedings, the government submitted that Vidur Mehta, an architect, has been appointed as a RERA member and the remaining appointments were 'under process'. Founding the explanations 'unsatisfactory', the court observed that repeated excuses reflected administrative apathy. The PIL filed by Atul Sharma has sought quashing of extension given to Prabodh Saxena as chief secretary of the state government on the grounds that it was given in clear violation of the Central Services Rules and guidelines of Department of Personnel & Training (DoPT). Saxena was considered front-runner for the post of RERA chairperson which had fallen vacant in December last year after retirement of then chairperson Shrikant Baldi. Saxena faces chargesheet in the infamous INX Media scam, in which then Union finance minister P Chidambaram and his son Karti are also named as accused. The petitioner informed the court that the special judge, anti-corruption court, Rouse Avenue, New Delhi, had taken cognisance of the chargesheet on October 21, 2019. The CBI had also reaffirmed the pendency of the case through a letter dated January 23, 2025 The petition argued that vigilance clearance cannot be granted to an officer who is an accused in a corruption case under the Prevention of Corruption Act. In May, HC had sought an affidavit from state government over 'specific reason that the state has withheld the recommendations of the selection committee'. 'Keeping in view the larger public interest, if the appointment has not been notified, affidavit be filed as to why it has not been done and what is the specific reason that the state has withheld the recommendations of the Selection Committee,' said the division Bench, comprising chief justice GS Sandhawalia and justice Ranjan Sharma on May 9, while directing the state government to file an affidavit. The high court clarified that the matter concerning interim relief against Saxena's extension would be considered on June 25, when the petition comes up for hearing again. Leader of opposition and former chief minister,Jai Ram Thakur, said, 'Even high court-recommended appointments are facing delays. RERA is being shifted to Dharamshala under suspicious circumstances.'
