DDA moves Delhi HC against RERA order for registering housing projects - Hindustan Times

The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) has challenged an order from the Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) in the Delhi High Court. The RERA order had directed the DDA, a government body, to register its housing projects under the RERA Act, just like any private developer. The DDA is arguing that as a statutory body created by an act of Parliament, it should be exempt from the purview of RERA. This case raises a fundamental question about whether government development authorities fall under the definition of a "promoter" under the RERA Act. The High Court's decision will have significant implications for the accountability and regulation of government housing projects across the country. If the court upholds the RERA order, it will bring greater transparency and protection for homebuyers in projects developed by government bodies.
