The real estate sector in North India has received a significant boost as the Real Estate Regulatory Authorities (RERA) of Haryana and Uttar Pradesh have approved projects worth more than ₹35,000 crore, reinforcing investor confidence and supporting future urban development.
Between January and June 2026, the Gurugram bench of Haryana RERA approved 51 real estate projects involving investments of nearly $4 billion. These developments comprise 16,727 units, including 15,403 residential, 1,084 commercial and 240 industrial units. Notably, 11 large-scale projects alone account for investments of around ₹25,000 crore, highlighting the continued demand for premium real estate in the region.
Haryana RERA has also introduced several measures to improve transparency and accountability, including stricter scrutiny of project registrations, mandatory site inspections, quarterly progress reporting and public consultations before approvals. The authority has also reduced the backlog of consumer complaints, ensuring quicker dispute resolution for homebuyers.
Meanwhile, UP-RERA approved 14 projects worth ₹2,285.68 crore across seven districts, adding nearly 3,548 residential and commercial units. Lucknow recorded the highest number of approvals, while Ghaziabad attracted the largest investment. Gautam Buddh Nagar also secured approvals for new commercial developments, reflecting sustained demand across key urban centres.
The latest approvals are expected to accelerate construction activity, generate employment and strengthen buyer confidence. With regulatory oversight becoming more robust, both Haryana and Uttar Pradesh continue to emerge as attractive destinations for real estate investment and long-term urban growth.
