Controversies

Delayed possession hearings

In 2023, home buyers of Lokhandwala Minerva were granted interest on delayed possession after hearings before MahaRERA, the real estate regulatory authority of Maharashtra state.[6][7]

Breach of conditions notice

In May 2023, the MahaRERA issued a show-cause notice, citing breach of conditions to Lokhandwala Kataria Constructions over false advertisements claiming the tower to be 90-storey tall, against the approved 77 floors.[8]
