Telangana RERA Penalizes TMR Marvel Developers with ₹19.8 Lakh Fine for Unfulfilled Promised Amenities

HYDERABAD: The Telangana Real Estate Regulatory Authority (TG RERA) has taken strict action against the developers of the TMR Marvel villa project in Macha Bolarum, near Alwal, by imposing a penalty of ₹19.8 lakh.

The fine was levied on T Madhusudhan Reddy and Sree Ram Reddy for their failure to provide the amenities promised to homebuyers. The ruling, issued on February 28, followed a complaint filed by N Sravanthi, a resident who alleged that several crucial facilities remained incomplete despite prior commitments by the developers.

According to Sravanthi’s complaint, she had entered into an agreement with the developers on February 5, 2018, to purchase a semi-finished villa in the TMR Marvel project. At the time of the agreement, the developers had assured her that the construction would be completed within two years and that the project would include all necessary amenities for comfortable living.

Based on these assurances, the property was officially registered in her name on May 29, 2019. She took possession of the villa on January 29, 2020, expecting that all promised amenities would be in place. However, much to her disappointment, several key infrastructural elements were either incomplete or entirely missing.

Sravanthi specifically pointed out that critical facilities such as a reliable water supply system, properly functioning streetlights, compound walls with solar fencing, parks, and a clubhouse had not been delivered as promised by the developers.

Additionally, she noted that the compound wall surrounding the villa community was inadequately built, which resulted in frequent security concerns. The weak construction of the wall allowed stray animals and unauthorized individuals to enter the premises freely, creating safety hazards for the residents.

Due to the lack of adequate security infrastructure, Sravanthi was forced to take matters into her own hands and incurred additional expenses amounting to ₹2 lakh to install necessary safety measures.

This financial burden, along with the inconvenience caused by the developers’ failure to meet their commitments, led her to escalate the matter to TG RERA.

After reviewing the case, TG RERA ruled in favor of Sravanthi and found the developers guilty of not delivering on their contractual obligations. The regulatory authority not only imposed a ₹19.8 lakh fine on the developers but also issued a directive mandating the immediate completion of all pending work in the project.

Furthermore, TG RERA ordered the rectification of the water supply and drainage issues without any further delay, ensuring that the residents do not continue to suffer due to the developers’ negligence.

This ruling serves as a strong warning to real estate developers across Telangana, reinforcing the importance of adhering to commitments made to homebuyers. It highlights the crucial role played by TG RERA in safeguarding the rights of property buyers and ensuring that developers fulfill their obligations as per agreed-upon terms.
