Gurugram RWA Challenges Occupation Certificate Over Parking Fire Safety and Sewerage Concerns
Gurugram, Haryana | September 4, 2026: A residents’ welfare association in Gurugram has challenged the Occupation Certificate (OC) issued for a 276-unit residential tower in Sector 92, seeking an independent physical inspection of key infrastructure and safety facilities before the certificate becomes operational.
The objection relates to T7, now identified as G1, G2 and G3, within a 48.8-acre group housing colony. The Royal Green Owners Condominium Association has approached the Department of Town and Country Planning (DTCP) and other authorities, raising concerns over sewerage capacity, parking, fire-tender access and mandatory green areas.
276-Unit Tower Receives Occupation Certificate
DTCP issued the OC on August 10, 2026, for the 276-unit tower.
The RWA has asked authorities to conduct a joint physical inspection and reconsider the certificate until its concerns are independently examined. The association has specifically sought verification of whether the infrastructure shown in the approved plans is actually available and functional on the ground.
Sewerage Capacity Comes Under Scrutiny
One of the main concerns involves the tower’s sewerage arrangements.
The RWA wants authorities to verify the complete sewerage connection from the tower to the sewage treatment plant (STP) or operational public sewerage network. It has also sought confirmation that the available treatment infrastructure has sufficient capacity to handle the additional load generated by the new units.
For existing residents, the issue is significant because inadequate sewerage capacity can affect sanitation, drainage and long-term maintenance of a residential community.
RWA Questions 414 ECS Parking Requirement
Parking provision is another major point of contention.
Based on 276 dwelling units and a requirement of 1.5 Equivalent Car Spaces (ECS) per unit, the association has calculated a requirement of 414 ECS for the tower.
It has asked authorities to physically identify these parking spaces and verify that parking or common areas already being used by existing residents have not been counted towards the new tower’s requirement.
Fire-Tender Access Needs Physical Trial
The association has also raised concerns about emergency access to the tower, particularly a sharp turn on the approach road from the main gate.
It has requested Fire and Emergency Services to conduct an actual fire-tender movement trial to check the turning radius, road width, load-bearing capacity, obstructions and access to designated firefighting positions.
Such access is particularly important in high-rise residential developments, where emergency vehicles need sufficient space to reach the building during a fire or other emergency.
RWA Seeks Audit of Green and Open Areas
The association has additionally called for a colony-wide assessment of mandatory green areas under the Haryana Building Code, 2017.
It has alleged that some areas originally earmarked as green or open spaces may have subsequently been used for parking or covered with fixed pavers. The RWA wants the sanctioned green-area requirement compared with the area actually available on the ground.
It has also questioned whether common areas, access roads and infrastructure serving existing residents can be used for the new tower without adequate approvals and 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 the tower was constructed in 2017 under previous management. The current management took over after an NCLT order in April 2023 and subsequently completed pending works before obtaining the OC from DTCP in August 2026.
What the Dispute Means for Existing and New Homebuyers
An Occupation Certificate is an important milestone for a residential project because it indicates that the competent authority has assessed the development for applicable completion and compliance requirements.
However, the RWA's challenge shows why buyers and existing residents should also examine the sanctioned plan, as-built infrastructure, parking allocation, fire access, sewerage capacity and common-area provisions when disputes arise over a residential project.
The immediate issue now is whether authorities will conduct the requested physical inspection and independently verify the concerns raised by the residents’ association before allowing the OC to operate without further review.
