Commenting on the identical, Prashant Thakur, Director & Head – Research, ANAROCK Property Consultants, stated, “For our earlier 2019-end tally of stalled and heavily-delayed projects, we had considered projects launched in 2013 or before. Now, more than one-and-a-half years later, we have included projects launched in 2014 as well. Thus, there is a rise in the numbers – as of H1 2021-end, we have nearly 6.29 lakh units that are yet to be completed across the top 7 cities.”
“Previously, NCR had a 35% share of total delayed units (in 2019). However, its share has now increased to 52% as several projects launched in NCR in 2014 are also included. There are many possible reasons, including COVID-19, funding issues, and litigations. The decrease in delayed units in Pune and MMR is remarkable – from 16% and 36% by 2019-end to 8% and 24% by H1 2021-end,” he added.
