Good news for homebuyers: Jaypee Infratech Limited takeover plan likely to get UP cabinet's nod soon
Hindustan TimesNearly five months after the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority approved the Mumbai-based Suraksha Group’s resolution plan to take over the stuck realty projects of Jaypee Infratech Limited, the matter is to be tabled in the cabinet meeting of the Uttar Pradesh government next week for requisite approval, said officials in the know of the matter. Yeida, in its 78th board meeting on September 13, 2023, approved Mumbai-based Suraksha Group’s resolution plan to take over stuck realty projects of bankrupt JIL, which failed to deliver around 32,000 units in its different housing projects in Noida and Greater Noida. They are: 1) Suraksha Group can purchase floor area ratio of up to 2.6 from the existing 1.5, which means that it can build more floors covering more ground; 2) concession period for toll collection on Yamuna Expressway be increased by an additional 15 years; 3) water bills on stuck realty projects be waived; 4) About 79 acres stuck in Noida’s Sultanpur village be given to the group, and 5) a new company will form a special purpose vehicle, inviting new developers to join hands to complete stuck projects. “We request that the UP cabinet approve Suraksha Group’s plan without any more delay so that our dream of a house will be realized,” said Ashish Mohan Gupta, president of Jaypee Infratech Real Estate Allottees Welfare Association.
