The Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) has sent a warning letter to the Suraksha Group. This company is in charge of completing and giving possession of about 20,000 flats in the stalled Jaypee Infratech Limited (JIL) projects in Noida and Greater Noida.

Suraksha Group took control of JIL on May 24, 2024, with a promise to restart construction within 90 days. The plan was meant to help thousands of families who have been waiting for their homes for years. But buyers say that there has been very little progress since then.

Why YEIDA Sent the Notice

YEIDA has given Suraksha one week to answer 14 questions about the delays. They want to know why construction is slow, why enough workers are not on site, and why the company has not put in the promised money to speed up the work.

A copy of the notice shows that YEIDA also asked about:

• No visible progress at the site

• Shortage of labour

• No structural safety reports shared with buyers

• Charging buyers extra even when amenities are not ready

• Not following RERA rules

• Not creating separate bank accounts for each project to protect funds

Homebuyers’ Complaints

Buyers from Jaypee Wish Town in Noida’s sectors 128, 129, and 130 say Suraksha has failed to keep its promises made in March 2023.

They say Suraksha promised to put ?3,000 crore into the projects and complete work on nine stalled projects but has not done so. Out of 97 towers, tenders were issued for only 41 towers and work stopped after the earlier contractor was removed.

Buyers also say that:

• The promised mobile app to share updates has not been launched

• Important managers have resigned, which caused more delays

• The company is not sharing construction updates or audit reports

YEIDA says if Suraksha does not give a proper reply in 7 days, further action will be taken. The buyers want YEIDA to monitor the projects regularly to make sure work is done according to the approved plan.

Suraksha Group has not given any public statement yet.
