Ahmedabad: The Gujarat Real Estate Regulatory Authority (GujRERA) has written to the roads and buildings (R&B) department asking if it has extended the timelines for any govt civil works owing to the West Asia crisis, sources said. Real estate associations have been pressing GujRERA to grant a six-month extension to ongoing projects, citing sharp increases in construction input prices and supply uncertainty.According to sources, GujRERA is looking for precedents within the state govt’s contracting ecosystem before taking a call on requests from developers.“The central govt has extended project completion timelines by two to four months for different projects, invoking force majeure (unforeseeable circumstances),” a GujRERA source said. “However, there is no precedent regarding any state RERA extending project completion dates.”The source said, “So we have sought details from the R&B department.”The authority is still weighing whether the situation warrants a blanket extension under the force majeure provision, sources added.One factor under consideration is that many developers already mention an extended date for project completion at the time of registration, while another is that the immediate impact of the conflict on supply chains and pricing is now seen as easing compared to the initial months.The Confederation of Real Estate Developers’ Associations of India (Credai), Ahmedabad, had formally sought a six-month extension from GujRERA for ongoing real estate projects under Section 6 of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act.The confederation has cited supply disruptions, labour shortages, and a steep rise in raw material prices as reasons projects are at risk of missing committed timelines.In its submission, the Credai, Ahmedabad, said the conflict has affected the availability of crude-linked construction materials and disrupted procurement cycles, making execution schedules harder to maintain.It warned that delays could spill over into new launches and slow construction activity across the market.Credai, Ahmedabad, has flagged price spikes across a wide range of inputs, including cement, steel, tiles, aluminium, PVC pipes, paints, ready-mix concrete, cement blocks and waterproofing materials.Suppliers, it said, have increased prices by 30% to 60% since the conflict began, while availability has remained uncertain.The confederation has also argued that the surge in input costs has raised overall project expenses by 10% to 20%, undermining budgets and cash-flow assumptions made when projects were registered.It has maintained that the events are beyond the control of developers and therefore merit relief under force majeure provisions.
