Gurugram Society OC Dispute Puts Focus on Parking, Fire Safety and Key Amenities
Gurugram, Haryana | September 1, 2026: A residents' welfare association (RWA) in Gurugram has raised objections to the Occupation Certificate (OC) issued for a residential tower in Sector 92, seeking an independent inspection of its infrastructure and safety arrangements before the certificate becomes operational.
The OC was issued on August 10, 2026, for T7, now referred to as G1, G2 and G3, within the 48.8-acre group housing project. The tower has 276 residential units.
RWA Seeks Physical Inspection Before OC Takes Effect
The Royal Green Owners Condominium Association, representing residents of the existing development, has approached the Department of Town & Country Planning (DTCP) and other authorities with a formal objection.
The association has requested a joint physical inspection to verify whether the new tower has adequate infrastructure and whether its occupation could put additional pressure on facilities already being used by existing residents.
The objection has been filed within the prescribed 30-day period.
Sewerage Capacity Is a Major Concern
One of the RWA's key concerns is the sewerage system.
The association has questioned whether T7 has an identifiable operational sewerage connection leading to an adequately upgraded sewage treatment plant (STP) or public sewerage network.
It has asked authorities to physically inspect the complete sewerage chain and verify whether the available capacity is sufficient for the new tower.
For residents, this is an important issue because inadequate sewerage infrastructure can directly affect sanitation, maintenance and everyday living conditions within a housing society.
Parking Availability Also Under Question
The RWA has also raised concerns about the availability of 414 ECS parking spaces for the 276-unit tower.
Based on the association's calculation of 1.5 ECS per dwelling unit, it says 414 ECS spaces would be required.
The residents' group wants authorities to physically identify these parking spaces and confirm that parking or common areas already being used by existing residents have not been counted toward the new tower's requirement.
Fire-Tender Access Needs Verification
Fire safety is another major point raised by the RWA.
The association has highlighted a sharp turn on the approach road leading toward T7 and has asked Fire & Emergency Services to conduct an actual fire-tender movement test.
The inspection would assess factors such as:
- Road width
- Turning radius
- Load-bearing capacity
- Possible obstructions
- Access to designated firefighting positions
This could be particularly important for residents because emergency access is a critical safety requirement in high-density residential developments.
Green Areas and Common Facilities Under Scrutiny
The RWA has also requested a colony-wide green-area audit.
It alleges that some areas originally designated as green or open spaces may have subsequently been used for parking or covered with permanent pavers.
The association wants the approved green-area requirement compared with the actual area available on the ground.
It has also argued that common areas, roads, parking spaces and infrastructure serving existing residents should not be used for the new tower without proper approvals and adequate capacity.
Developer Says Project Follows Approved Plans
The developer has disputed the concerns and said the project is being implemented according to approved building plans.
According to the developer, the 276 units were sold between 2011 and 2014 and constructed in 2017 under the previous management. The current management completed the remaining works and obtained the OC from DTCP in August 2026.
Why This Matters for Homebuyers
An Occupation Certificate is an important milestone for a residential project, but the dispute highlights why homebuyers and existing residents should also pay attention to actual on-ground infrastructure.
Parking availability, fire access, sewerage capacity, green areas and common facilities can directly affect the usability, safety and long-term value of a residential property.
For buyers considering a property in a society, checking the approved plans, OC conditions, parking allocation and available infrastructure can therefore be as important as evaluating the apartment itself.
What Happens Next
The RWA has asked authorities to independently verify the sanctioned and as-built plans, parking calculations, fire approvals, sewerage and STP records, green-area calculations and inspection reports used for granting the OC.
The immediate issue is whether authorities will conduct the requested joint physical inspection and review the objections before allowing the OC to operate without further scrutiny.
Until the concerns are examined, the dispute is likely to remain an important issue for both existing residents and prospective buyers in the project.
