GURUGRAM: The Haryana Department of Town and Country Planning (DTCP) has taken action against a group housing project due to issues with its development licence.
The enforcement action pertains to a project located in Badshahpur, Sector 68, after the development licence expired eight years ago and was not renewed. The project currently has outstanding external development charges (EDC) and related dues exceeding Rs 51.8 crore.
The DTCP has issued a show-cause notice to Golden Glow Estates, the project’s official licence holder, instructing the district town planner (enforcement) to commence proceedings under Section 10 of the Haryana Development and Regulation of Urban Areas Act, 1975 against the promoters and directors for violating licence conditions. A report on the actions taken is to be submitted within 10 days.
Planning officials indicated that further actions may entail licence cancellation, recovery of government dues, and additional enforcement measures if the developer does not respond satisfactorily. Buyers and investors are closely monitoring the situation, given the project’s extensive delays and regulatory challenges. Records indicate that licence No 177 of 2008, granted on October 11, 2008, for a group housing colony spanning approximately 10.68 acres in the Gurgaon-Manesar Urban Complex was valid only until October 10, 2018. The developer did not apply for renewal within the stipulated timeframe and has also failed to comply with various statutory requirements outlined in the Haryana Development and Regulation of Urban Areas Rules, 1976.
The notice states that despite prior directives, the company has not provided essential documents, including updated service plan estimates, development work details, and certification regarding the non-collection of stamp duty and registration charges. Moreover, bank guarantees associated with development obligations expired in 2019 and were not renewed.
Officials noted that a notice was initially issued under Rule 18(1) in August 2021, pointing out deficiencies. Following non-compliance, a second notice under Rule 18(2) was dispatched in December 2025, warning of potential licence cancellation and further action. Correspondence reveals that EDC dues alone exceeded Rs 51 crore as of December 2025, in addition to prior outstanding liabilities.
Officials described these lapses as serious violations of statutory provisions and agreements made with the department. While the DTCP notice refers to the development as a licensed group housing colony in Sector 68, industry and insolvency filings often refer to it as Sky Ville. Various entities have been linked to land ownership and development in the area, and parts of the larger project have experienced delays and insolvency proceedings in recent years, according to public records and industry sources.
This case underscores the ongoing regulatory scrutiny of stalled or non-compliant housing projects in Gurgaon, where authorities have increased actions on lapsed licences, unpaid development charges, and incomplete statutory approvals across multiple sectors in the past year.
