New Launch - India Real Estate Report 2026.
Haryana Real Estate Regulatory Authority (Haryana RERA), Gurugram bench, has granted an automatic four-month extension to completion timelines of eligible registered real estate projects, citing the impact of the prevailing situation in West Asia on global supply chains.
The authority said the West Asia situation has adversely affected global supply chains, resulting in a shortage of construction materials, prompting the automatic relief for developers registered with the authority.
Which projects qualify for the extension
The order applies to projects registered with H-RERA Gurugram whose completion date, revised completion date or extended completion date falls on or after February 28, 2026.
- No separate application is required from promoters to avail the extension
- The benefit is confined to projects registered on or before July 31, 2026
- Extension or continuation must be granted on or before July 31, 2026
The automatic nature of the extension means eligible promoters do not need to individually approach the authority to claim the additional four months, reducing the administrative burden on developers already dealing with supply disruptions.

Legal basis: force majeure and RERA provisions invoked
The West Asia situation has been treated as "war" for the purpose of invoking the force majeure clause by the Department of Expenditure, Ministry of Finance.
The order has been issued under Sections 6, 7(3), 34(f), 37 and 83 of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016, pursuant to the advisory issued by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs on July 31, 2026.
This gives the extension a formal legal basis under the RERA framework, rather than treating it as a discretionary or informal relief measure.

What developers say about the relief
Pradeep Aggarwal, founder and chairman of Signature Global (India), said the geopolitical situation in West Asia has severely disrupted global supply chains, leading to acute shortages of vital construction materials.
He said the authority, by recognising this as a force majeure event, has shown a deep understanding of the unprecedented challenges currently burdening the real estate sector, adding that the relief provides the industry with crucial breathing room to navigate these external shocks without compromising on quality or project viability.
