Payment delay may cost realty co 100-acre YEIDA township project
Noida: The Yamuna Expressway authority has given Greenbay Infrastructure a deadline of June 30 to deposit Rs 110 crore, an instalment that the developer has defaulted on, failing which it will cancel the allotment of 100 acres of land for a township in Sector 22D.
The land was allotted to Greenbay in Feb 2011. The developer subleased a portion of this to Emerald Properties in Jan 2014 for a group housing project. It later launched Golf Village township, which comprises 691 plots, of which registries for 300 have been completed till now.
Officials of the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) said on Wednesday that this ultimatum was given because the developer defaulted on payment after being allowed to avail UP govt's rehabilitation package for stalled projects.

The policy, announced in 2023, allowed concessions to developers of stalled projects who agreed to pay 25% of recalculated dues upfront, and the remaining in instalments.
For Greenbay, which was allotted the 100-acre land in 2011, dues were recalculated to Rs 441 crore. Of this, the developer paid Rs 110 crore as the 25% amount upfront by April 2024. The rest of its dues were supposed to be paid in batches between Jan 2025 and July 2026, according to the agreement as part of the rehabilitation package.
But Greenbay sought an extension to pay the first instalment of Rs 110 crore – due for Jan 2025 – citing difficulties in securing full possession of land. A spokesperson for the developer told TOI on Wednesday that around 30% of the allotted land was still under cultivation by farmers and the developer was not able to access it.
YEIDA CEO Arun Vir Singh said that based on this argument, a three-month extension was approved by the authority.
Still, Greenbay did not pay the instalment by April 15 this year. On this day, it submitted another request to YEIDA, seeking permission to sublease a 4,330 square metre commercial plot within the planned township and revision of its payment schedule.
"To fulfil these financial transactions, we need immediate permission to proceed with the sublease of the commercial plot. This authorisation is critical for us to take the necessary steps towards fulfilling our payment obligations.
Should we fail to adhere to the agreed timeline for payment, we accept that the sublease may be cancelled without any objection on our part," Greenbay wrote in the April 15 communication.
"We are ready to give an affidavit stating that all proceeds from the sublease would go directly to YEIDA from this sale," the developer's spokesperson said on Wednesday.
YEIDA this month rejected the request, saying that the rehabilitation package allows subleases only in favour of homebuyers, and not for commercial plots.
"If Greenbay Infrastructure fails to deposit Rs 110 crore by June 30, 2025, the allotment of the township project will stand cancelled," the CEO said.
The developer said it was willing to complete the project and hand over possession to buyers. "But the Authority has not resolved our issues. We have requested a waiver of interest on land that we cannot access due to farmer stays, writs (pleas), or farming, but that too has not been considered," the spokesperson added.

This 'F' word is pushing India backword, can't defeat China due to..., why is 6400000000000 scaring India
This 'F' word is pushing India backword, can't defeat China due to…, why is 6400000000000 scaring India Indian states are going to increase their spending on social welfare schemes. It is estimated that these states will spend about 2 percent of their Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP), or Rs 6.4 lakh crore in 2025, much more than the previous year's spending. Several states have introduced schemes such as monthly income for women and free travel in government-run buses. These welfare schemes have increased the expenses of the states. This has raised concerns as this level of spending is expected to impact India in many ways. Will India Be Able to Beat China Economically? Notably, to beat China economically, India will have to take visionary steps beyond just spending on social welfare. According to a report by rating agency Crisil, spending huge amounts on welfare schemes has reduced states' ability to spend on infrastructure development and other development works. Crisil analysed the budget of 18 major states which account for nearly 90precent of the total GSDP. The central government, on the other hand, also spends huge amount on several welfare schemes such as Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGA), Jal Jeevan Mission, PM Kisan, PM Awas Yojana and PM Poshan. The central government has allocated Rs 86,000 crore for MNREGA that too only for this year. What Kind Of Warning Is This? Crisil has warned that increased state spending on welfare programs, particularly those targeting women, children, and marginalised groups, will widen their revenue deficits. This surge in spending, consistent with previous years at 1.4 to1.6 percent of GSDP between FY19 and FY24 will likely curtail states capacity for capital investment. The rise in expenditure is attributed to pre-election initiatives, including income support schemes and free public transportation for women. What Is Needed To Defeat China? To overtake China economically, India has to take concrete and far-sighted steps rather just spending on social welfare schemes. Focus on productive investments India should focus on creation of world-class infrastructure like roads, railways, ports, power, digital connectivity. These developments will reduce logistics costs and boosts industries. Investments in education, healthcare, and skills development is also needed to create a skilled and healthy workforce. India has to work on increasing public and private investment in research and development. This will promote innovation. Notably, China has invested big in this. Development of the manufacturing sector China's robust manufacturing sector significantly contributes to its economic growth. India's economic progress requires bolstering initiatives like 'Make in India' by streamlining manufacturing establishment, offering tax benefits, and enhancing global supply chain integration. Emphasis on exports China has an export-oriented economy. India also needs to expand its export base in high value-added goods and services. Policy stability A stable policy environment is essential to attract investors. Improving the ease of doing business will automatically reduce red tape. Financial discipline Both the states and the Centre must keep the fiscal deficit under control. This will reduce debt and increase revenue.

Only 30% of MahaRERA recovery warrants executed; Rs 527cr still to be recovered
Pune: MahaRERA's progress on recovery warrant has remained slow, with only 31% of cases executed. Despite state govt's directive to dispose of these cases within three months, merely Rs 233 crore has been recovered out of Rs 760 crore due in 1,212 cases across Maharashtra, officials told TOI on Saturday. The slow progress contradicts revenue minister Chandrakant Bawankule's assurance during the state budget session, where he emphasised speedy execution of MahaRERA's recovery warrant orders and clearing the backlog within three months. The recovery warrants are issued under Section 40(1) of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act (RERA) against developers who neither complete projects nor refund homebuyers. Once issued by MahaRERA, these orders are forwarded to district collectors for action, including property attachment and recovery of dues. The districts of Mumbai Suburban, Pune and Thane continue to report the highest backlog of such pending cases.

It requires more proactive coordination from revenue officials," said a senior MahaRERA official, adding that it was despite the appointment of additional collectors in multiple districts to expedite the execution of recovery warrants. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Top 5 Dividend Stocks for May 2025 Seeking Alpha Read More Undo Further compounding delays are 172 complaints, involving Rs 157 crore, that are currently pending before the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), which handles cases related to insolvency and bankruptcy. These cases are in legal limbo, adding to the frustration of affected homebuyers, stated officials In a broader push for accountability, PM Narendra Modi had addressed the issue directly at the Pragati review meeting on May 29. Expressing dissatisfaction with the mere counting of "disposed" complaints, the PM questioned whether states genuinely ensured redressal. In response, Maharashtra chief secretary Sujata Saunik held a review meeting in the second week of June with collectorates across the state, directing officials to fast-track execution of recovery warrants and ensure accountability. Additional revenue officers have since been appointed to assist with enforcement. Senior citizen Arun Sheth, who has been waiting for over four years for action against a developer, said, "There's been no real movement on my case despite repeated follow-ups. It's just silence." Activists and consumer groups have also called for better monitoring tools. "MahaRERA should introduce a real-time dashboard like UP RERA's. There should be a clearly defined SOP and phase-wise targets, not just vague timelines," said activist R Prabhu. MahaRERA officials said the issue was likely to be raised in the upcoming legislative session. "It's important that revenue officials are able to give a concrete and time-bound plan for executing these orders," an official noted.
