The Haryana Real Estate Regulatory Authority (HRERA) in Gurugram has issued a show cause notice to Trehan Hospitality and Realty Pvt Ltd for developing and selling 324 residential floors in Sector 71 without the required registration under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016. The total project cost is tentatively assessed at ₹521.66 crore (approximately $63 million USD), and the Authority may impose a penalty of 5% for this violation. HRERA's Chairman, Arun Kumar, stated that the developer contravened Section 3 of the Act, which mandates prior registration for real estate projects. The firm has been directed to respond to the notice within 10 days, with a hearing set for May 4. Trehan Hospitality's representatives argued that the project does not require registration, but HRERA rejected this claim, emphasizing that the construction and sale of the floors fell within the Act's scope. Complaints from allottees further indicated violations in marketing and construction practices.
