Jaypee Wish Town Buyers Raise Concerns as Flats With Occupancy Certificates Remain Unready for Possession
Noida | September 29, 2026: Getting an occupancy certificate does not always mean a home is ready to move into. Homebuyers at Jaypee Wish Town in Noida have raised concerns that possession remains delayed in some towers despite receiving occupancy certificates (OCs), citing non-operational lifts, incomplete fire-safety systems and unfinished essential infrastructure.
Buyers have urged the authorities to investigate whether Suraksha Group, which is completing the stalled Jaypee Infratech projects, is following the resolution plan approved by the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT). The concerns come as a state-appointed committee examines construction progress, project approvals and the use of homebuyer funds.
Homebuyers Flag Gaps in Essential Services
A group of Wish Town buyers raised their concerns during a meeting with Noida Authority officer on special duty Santosh Kumar on Monday. They alleged that several towers with OCs still lacked the services and supporting infrastructure needed for residents to occupy their homes.
The issues cited include falling plaster, non-operational lifts, incomplete fire-safety systems and unfinished water and sewage infrastructure. Buyers also pointed to incomplete or non-functional clubhouses, internal roads, lighting, landscaping and the sewage treatment plant.
These concerns have brought the distinction between obtaining an OC and delivering a home that is practically ready for occupation into focus.
State Committee to Examine Suraksha Group’s Work
The state government recently formed a five-member committee headed by Noida Authority OSD Santosh Kumar to examine Suraksha Group’s work at Wish Town.
The panel includes representatives from the planning and finance departments of the Noida and Yamuna authorities. It will review whether construction is in line with the approved project report and layout plans, and check whether any additional towers, floors, dwelling units or built-up areas have been developed beyond the sanctioned plans.
The committee will also assess actual construction progress and whether money collected from buyers is being used for construction. Noida Authority CEO Krishna Karunesh had said the panel would submit its report within a month.
Buyers Seek Clarity on Resolution Plan Commitments
Homebuyers have demanded a transparent investigation into the implementation of the resolution plan approved by the NCLT in March 2023.
They have also questioned whether the developer deployed the workforce required under the plan. Buyers alleged that the commitment to deploy 12,000 workers for timely completion was not fulfilled.
The committee’s review is expected to examine construction progress and compliance with the approved project documents. Its findings may help clarify the status of the work and whether any corrective action is required.
Long Wait Continues for Some Homebuyers
For several buyers, the delay has extended over a decade. Anirudh Gupta, who booked a flat 14 years ago, said he had paid 95% of the total price in 2012 but was still waiting for possession. He continues to live with his family in Bulandshahr.
Another buyer, 76-year-old Sudhir Gupta, said he invested his retirement savings in a flat in 2013 after being assured it would be ready in 2016. He has paid nearly ₹80 lakh against a total price of ₹1.1 crore and said he still has no certainty about when he will receive possession.
Their experiences highlight the financial and personal uncertainty that can arise when housing projects remain incomplete for years.
Suraksha Group Says Work Is Progressing
Suraksha Group has maintained that it is completing the project in accordance with the approved resolution plan.
A company official said construction had been completed in 84 towers comprising 7,913 units out of 159 towers in the project. The developer has obtained OCs for 42 towers covering 4,213 flats and applied for OCs for another 28 towers comprising 2,385 flats.
The official also said development work was at an advanced stage in 15 of the project’s 22 clubhouses.
These figures provide the developer’s account of construction progress, while buyers’ complaints underline the need to assess whether completed towers and common facilities are ready for residents.
Why the Inspection Matters for Existing and Prospective Residents
Wish Town is already home to a large residential population, with buyers estimating that nearly one lakh people live in the township. For existing residents, completing shared infrastructure such as roads, sewage facilities, lighting and clubhouses remains important alongside the delivery of unfinished flats.
For buyers awaiting possession, the committee’s findings could provide greater clarity on construction quality, pending facilities and compliance with the approved plan. The review may also help identify areas where additional work or regulatory intervention is needed.
What Happens Next at Jaypee Wish Town
The five-member committee is expected to submit its findings within a month. Its inspection will cover construction progress, adherence to sanctioned plans and the use of funds collected from buyers.
The NCLT approved Suraksha Group’s resolution plan on March 7, 2023, and the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal upheld it in May 2024. The developer had committed to completing the projects within 40 months.
The upcoming review will be an important step in assessing the project’s progress and addressing buyers’ concerns. For residents and homebuyers, the key issue remains not only whether towers have received OCs, but whether homes and essential facilities are ready for use.
