GNIDA report: s 4k cr dues from builders mired in legal dispute
Noida: Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority (GNIDA) is faced with staggering dues of Rs 4,081 crore from 21 major real estate projects. With cases pending in various legal platforms — from the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) to the Supreme Court — the Authority's recovery efforts have hit a judicial roadblock. A report by GNIDA has revealed that each of these projects owes more than Rs 100 crore, with real estate major Supertech Ltd leading the defaulters' list. The company's outstanding dues of Rs 903 crore span across three projects — Rs 312 crore for a project in Sector 1, and Rs 590 crore for two projects in Sector 16B. All these projects are currently under NCLT proceedings. Following closely is Unitech Ltd, with pending dues of Rs 828 crore across four projects in Pi 1 and 2. These projects are now under the supervision of a Supreme Court-appointed board.

It asked the company to deposit Rs 10 crore, which Omaxe fulfilled. La Residentia Developers, allotted land in Techzone-4 in 2010, owes Rs 244 crore. The case is particularly complex as the Supreme Court ruled in 2019 that 19.75% of the project (632 units) belongs to Amrapali Group. Amrapali's court receiver R Venkatramani has requested adjustments in land payments and recommended waiving the interest and penalties during the litigation period.

All of them are under NCLT proceedings. Mahagun India Ltd, which owes Rs 125 crore to the Authority, has secured a high court stay related to additional compensation, with a revision petition pending with the state govt. Gayatri Hospitality and Realcon's Rs 117-crore case is linked to La Residentia Developers' petition, with the high court ordering no coercive action. A GNIDA official said, "We are seeking legal opinion to explore possible resolutions in all these cases. Till then, it's wait and watch."
