housing projects
by Supertech have written to Chief Justice of India B R Gavai and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, seeking their intervention to hand over these projects to state-owned NBCC instead of NCR-based Apex Group.
The homebuyers called for vacating a stay imposed by the top court on a National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) order in December 2024, directing that all these projects be entrusted to NBCC (India) Ltd for time-bound completion.

The stay was based on a proposal Apex Group submitted to the
Supreme Court
to revive the projects.
'After enduring over a decade of financial loss, mental trauma, and shattered dreams, we now face the imminent threat of being handed over once again to a private entity — Apex Heights Pvt Ltd — whose proposal and compliance affidavit submitted to the SC is fundamentally flawed, financially unviable, ethically questionable, and devastating for homebuyers,' they said in the letter.
The 16 stuck projects of Supertech comprise 50,962 homes, of which 39,870 are sold and 11,092 remain unsold. Of the sold homes, 24,871 have been handed over to buyers, while 14,999 are yet to be delivered.

An investment of Rs 1,700 crore is required to complete the sold homes, while receivables from these units are estimated at Rs 2,200 crore.
'NBCC has delivered large-scale, complex stalled housing projects such as Amrapali. It has the technical expertise, government backing, operational credibility, and most importantly — the trust of homebuyers,' said Mujeebur Rahman, a homebuyer.
The buyers have also demanded the disqualification of Apex from the resolution process and the complete removal of Supertech promoters from it.
'We have requested the Supreme Court that no further interlocutory applications (IA) be entertained at this advanced stage of the proceedings. It has already been 15 long years, and more than 50,000 homebuyers are still waiting for their homes, having suffered immense financial and mental distress,' Rahman said.
Homebuyers have alleged that Supertech is attempting to block NBCC's onboarding by pushing the Apex proposal.
Supertech, however, said once the Supreme Court approves the resolution plan submitted by Apex Heights, it will pave the way for all stakeholders to complete the 16 projects, with deliveries to homebuyers starting within three months and being completed in the next 24 months, in addition to repayment to financial institutions and land authorities as agreed in the plan.
'Since the de-linking of the Doon Square Project in reverse insolvency, the handover of units has been done by Ametek, the codeveloper in the project, well before the time stipulated. NCLAT had directed delivery in 12 months, whereas 100% handover of units to homebuyers has been successfully completed in nine months,' Supertech said in a statement.
Apex Group has agreed to clear Rs 678 crore of dues to five banks and around Rs 1,900 crore to Noida, Greater Noida, and Yamuna authorities. In the initial phase, the company has committed to invest Rs 500 crore, with plans to deliver the flats within two years of taking over.

India Inc's CSR spending rises 29pc in FY22-FY24, education & healthcare lead: Report
New Delhi: India Inc's annual corporate social responsibility (CSR) spending increased by 29 per cent between FY2022 and FY2024, according to a report on Tuesday. The report by ICRA ESG Ratings showed that till March 2024, the sample set of companies collectively spent Rs 12,897 crore, with an average of Rs 129 crore on CSR initiatives. Between FY2022 and FY2024, average net profits rose by 37 per cent while CSR spending increased by 29 per cent. Notably, 16 out of 100 companies increased their CSR spending despite the decline in profits during the same period, reflecting a commitment to social responsibility beyond compliance. Despite a decline in profits, 48 per cent of companies surpassed the mandated CSR budgets, underscoring their commitment beyond compliance. 'The growing alignment with UN SDGs and proactive CSR spending -- even beyond mandated budgets -- reflects a maturing approach to inclusive development. These efforts are not only enhancing stakeholder value but also contributing meaningfully to India's broader climate and social goals,' said Sheetal Sharad, Chief Ratings Officer, ICRA ESG Ratings. Further, the report showed deepening alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs), as companies increasingly move beyond regulatory compliance to proactively invest in initiatives -- particularly in quality education and good health and well-being -- that deliver long-term societal impact. Education and healthcare remained the top CSR focus areas, with SDG 4 (Quality Education) and SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being) showing the highest alignment across the sample set. Maharashtra and Gujarat received the highest CSR allocations by corporates, while Odisha recorded a major growth of 85 per cent, followed by Andhra Pradesh with 70 per cent growth in CSR spending concentration, reflecting an increased corporate focus on underdeveloped regions with high development needs and potential for impact. Sectoral leaders in CSR spending include the oil and gas refineries sector, private sector banks, the iron and steel sector, and software consulting firms. CSR spending in aspirational districts surged by 115 per cent from FY2021 to FY2023. While a few companies have directed up to half of their CSR budgets toward aspirational districts, the majority continue to allocate less than 5 per cent -- highlighting the need for greater strategic focus and resource allocation in aspirational districts. While progress is evident, the report emphasises the importance of diversification in the CSR focus and exploration of innovative partnerships along with funding alternatives that can bring attention to other causes which are less supported yet remain vital.
