NCLAT Seeks Fresh Status Report on 16 Stalled Supertech Projects Managed by NBCC

New Delhi | September 3, 2026: The National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) has sought a fresh status report on the progress of 16 stalled Supertech housing projects being managed for completion by state-run NBCC. The direction follows complaints from homebuyers that construction and work-awarding activities have not progressed according to the timelines set earlier by the tribunal.

The development is significant for thousands of Supertech homebuyers who have been waiting for their properties to be completed. The Supreme Court has already upheld NBCC’s mandate to complete the 16 projects, giving the revival process legal backing.


NCLAT Flags Delay in Construction Process

NCLAT noted that its May 6, 2026 order required the process of awarding work to begin before July 31, followed by commencement of construction within a month. According to the latest proceedings, those timelines had not been met.

The tribunal has now directed the Apex Court Committee overseeing the projects to submit a status report within two weeks detailing the steps taken towards awarding work and starting construction.


16 Supertech Projects Are Under NBCC’s Mandate

The 16 projects span Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Uttarakhand and Karnataka. NBCC's official disclosure states that the portfolio covers nearly 49,748 housing units, with an estimated construction cost of around ₹9,445 crore.

The projects are being managed under a revival framework involving the court-appointed Apex Court Committee and NBCC as the project management consultant.

For homebuyers, the arrangement was expected to provide a structured route towards completing projects that had remained stalled during Supertech's insolvency proceedings.

 


Homebuyers Raise Fresh Concerns Over Delays

The latest NCLAT intervention came after stakeholders and homebuyers raised concerns about the lack of progress despite the earlier court-directed timelines.

Reports indicate that the 16 projects include nearly 50,000 homes, with a substantial number already sold and thousands of units still awaiting delivery.

For affected buyers, the issue is not only the construction delay but also the uncertainty around possession, additional waiting costs and the timeline for completing their specific project.


NCLAT Also Takes Note of Other Project Issues

The tribunal also took note of complaints relating to waterlogging in the basements of Supertech Ecociti and Supertech 34 Pavilion and sought relevant basement plans and drawings in the proceedings.

Separately, the tribunal was informed that salaries of Supertech employees had remained unpaid for three months and directed the Apex Court Committee to consider the issue.

These developments highlight the wider operational and financial challenges surrounding the stalled projects.

 


Why NBCC’s Progress Matters to Property Buyers

NBCC's involvement was intended to provide a government-backed route for completing Supertech's stalled housing projects. The Supreme Court's February 2026 decision upheld the earlier NCLAT order authorising NBCC to complete the 16 projects.

However, the latest NCLAT proceedings show that legal approval alone has not translated into construction progress at the pace originally expected.

For homebuyers, the next status report could therefore be important in establishing which projects have moved towards contractor appointment, when physical construction can begin and whether revised timelines will be required.


Next Hearing Set for September 14

NCLAT has listed the matter for September 14, 2026. Before then, the Apex Court Committee is expected to submit its report on the steps taken for the ongoing projects.

For affected Supertech buyers, the key developments to watch will be the committee's findings, project-wise construction plans and any fresh directions issued by NCLAT.

The latest order does not itself announce a new possession date for individual projects. Instead, it seeks greater accountability and clarity on why the previously directed revival milestones have not been achieved.
