Regulation Tweak Could Shield Healthy Realty Projects From Bankruptcy
Some real estate projects may still be healthy even when their developer faces bankruptcy.
A proposed rule change could help those projects continue separately.
This might protect some homebuyers from delays or other problems.
The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India has not said how many projects could benefit.
An estimate found about 412,000 homes were stalled across India.
Those homes were valued at about ₹4.08 trillion.
More than half were in the National Capital Region.
Some belonged to developers undergoing insolvency proceedings.
