Event Summary

This decision, directed by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and implemented by Revenue Minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule, provides significant relief to the real estate sector and homebuyers. Industry bodies like Confederation of Real Estate Developers Associations of India and National Real Estate Development Council India — Maharashtra had urged the government to maintain the status quo, citing global economic uncertainties and a slowdown in the construction sector.
