Hyderabad: In one of its biggest enforcement actions in recent months, the Telangana Real Estate Regulatory Authority (TG RERA) has imposed penalties totaling nearly ₹10 crore on 11 developers, promoters and real estate intermediaries for violating provisions of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 (RERA).
The action follows a series of suo motu proceedings initiated by the authority after identifying multiple violations, including marketing unregistered projects, accepting pre-launch bookings, publishing misleading advertisements, concealing pending litigations, and operating without mandatory registration.
Major Violations Identified
According to TG RERA, several developers advertised and promoted plots, villas and commercial projects before obtaining mandatory RERA registration. In some cases, developers allegedly accepted bookings from buyers even before securing regulatory approval.
The authority also found instances where project advertisements failed to display the required RERA registration number, while some developers allegedly did not disclose pending legal disputes related to project land. In addition, action was taken against entities operating as real estate agents without obtaining the required registration.
Officials said such practices reduce transparency in the real estate sector and can mislead homebuyers into investing in projects without complete regulatory compliance.

The largest penalties were imposed on developers accused of serious violations of the RERA Act.
- Samooha Projects Pvt. Ltd. – ₹4.1 crore
- GNR Infra Developers – ₹2.1 crore
- Sensation Infracon Pvt. Ltd. – ₹1.4 crore

- Gangothri Builders – Penalty imposed under TG RERA proceedings.
Why RERA Registration Matters
Under the RERA Act, developers are required to register eligible projects with the regulatory authority before advertising, marketing or selling units. The law also mandates disclosure of project approvals, timelines, layout details, pending litigations and other information that helps buyers make informed decisions.
Failure to comply with these requirements can attract financial penalties and other regulatory action.
Message to Homebuyers
Real estate experts say the latest action serves as a reminder for buyers to verify whether a project is RERA registered before making any booking or payment. Buyers should also check the project’s registration number, legal approvals and other disclosures available on the official TG RERA portal.
Industry observers believe stricter enforcement will improve transparency and accountability in Telangana’s real estate sector while helping protect homebuyers from misleading advertisements and unauthorized project launches.
TG RERA Steps Up Enforcement
With Telangana’s real estate market witnessing renewed activity, TG RERA appears to be intensifying its regulatory oversight to ensure developers comply with the provisions of the law. The authority has reiterated that projects must obtain all necessary registrations before being marketed and that any violation affecting consumer interests will invite strict action.
