Recovery notices ignored, UP seals offices of 12 builders over Rs 175cr dues
Once an RC is issued, it enables the district administration to recover the amount as arrears of land revenue, much like a tax recovery process.SDM (Dadri) Anuj Nehra, who is currently supervising the enforcement action, said offices of Antariksh Engineers and Elegant Infracon, were sealed on Tuesday for dues amounting to around Rs 4 crore and Rs 15 crore, respectively.Uttam Steels and Associates is among the top defaulters with dues amounting to Rs 57 crore. Other builders facing action include Ansal Hitech Township, which defaulted on Rs 26 crore, Rudra Buildwell Project, which owes Rs 32 crore, Rudra Buildwell Homes with Rs 38-crore dues and DSD Homes around Rs 3 crore.Shubh Advisors, another defaulter, owes Rs 1 crore, Hebe Infrastructure Rs 57 lakh, Dhanya Promoters Rs 25 lakh, Aastha Infracity Rs 3.6 lakh and Ansal Landmark Township with Rs 1.7 lakh dues.The administration has warned of more such sealing drives if the dues are not cleared immediately. Dadri tehsil, officials said, alone has more than 100 such projects where builders owe over Rs 500 crore cumulatively.Data shared by UP-Rera shows that over 2,700 RCs are currently pending, and recovery efforts have so far yielded limited results.A major hurdle in the recovery process has been the lack of cooperation from builders whose offices are based in Delhi.
UP RERA
issued over 330 RCs related to such projects, but the recovery rate in Delhi has been abysmally low. Officials have blamed jurisdictional complications and poor coordination between the state authorities for the delay.

Bhubaneswar: Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi, along with members of his Council of Ministers and legislators, on Wednesday extended gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for approving the Capital Region Ring Road (CRRR) project at a ceremony held at the State Guest House here. The CRRR will be a 111-km six-lane road project with an estimated cost of Rs 8,342 crore. The project is expected not only to ease traffic flow but also boost Bhubaneswar's development as a textile and software hub, thereby strengthening Odisha's economic prospects. Speaking at the ceremony, Chief Minister Majhi said: "I express my heartfelt thanks to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for granting approval to the Capital Region Ring Road project. This transformative project will ensure smoother connectivity, accelerate industrial growth, and open new avenues for trade and investment in Odisha." During the event, it was also highlighted that global steel major POSCO, which had earlier exited the state due to massive protest, is returning to Odisha with the support of the 'double engine government'. The company in a joint venture with a leading group is set to establish a mega steel plant in Keonjhar district with an investment of over Rs 50,000 crore. Initially, the plant will have a capacity of 6 million tonnes, which will later be scaled up to 12 million tonnes. Keonjhar has been chosen as the site due to its strong infrastructure facilities including road, air, rail, water, and power connectivity. To attract more investments, the Odisha government has been conducting roadshows in Delhi, Mumbai, and Singapore, and is planning another in Hyderabad soon. With its attractive incentive package and investor-friendly industrial policy, Odisha is positioning itself as a preferred destination for national and international investors. CM Majhi also praised the approval of two semiconductors in Bhubaneswar during the last meeting of the Union Cabinet.
