Delhi HC Orders Orris Group to Expedite Handover of Delayed Greenopolis Flats in Gurugram
In a crucial development for homebuyers of the Greenopolis project in Gurugram, the Delhi High Court has directed Orris Infrastructure Pvt. Ltd. to expedite the handover of flats in the first phase of the project. This ruling, made public on March 31, 2025, brings much-needed relief to buyers who have been waiting for possession since 2011. The decision mandates that Orris Infrastructure prioritize the delivery of flats to buyers who made direct payments to the company, addressing a long-standing issue of delays in possession.
The Greenopolis project, located in Sector 89 of Gurugram, was initially launched in 2011 with the expectation that possession would be granted by 2015. However, despite this timeline, not a single unit has been handed over to date. This has led to immense frustration among homebuyers who have been left in limbo for over a decade, enduring financial stress and uncertainty about the status of their investments.
The court’s decision affirms Orris Infrastructure’s rights to the land and its responsibility to complete the handover process, further reinforcing the company’s commitment to its customers. A spokesperson for Orris Group welcomed the ruling and expressed the company’s intention to comply with the directive. “We respect the Delhi High Court’s decision and consider it a significant step in favour of homebuyers. We are committed to fulfilling our obligations to the customers,” the spokesperson said.
However, the court also clarified that buyers who had made payments to Three C Shelters Pvt. Ltd. (TCSPL), the contractor involved in the project, must pursue their claims separately. This distinction in financial responsibility indicates that Orris and TCSPL are legally separated entities in this matter, and affected buyers must seek independent legal recourse against TCSPL for their dues or claims.
The case has been a long and arduous journey for the affected homebuyers. Many buyers had invested their savings and took loans with the hope of moving into their new homes, but years of delays have put them in a difficult situation. The ongoing legal and financial battles have added to their distress, with some buyers even forced to continue paying rent for alternate accommodation while also servicing home loan EMIs for flats that have not been delivered.
Homebuyers of the Greenopolis project have been vocal in their frustration, staging numerous protests and filing complaints over the years. Since January 2019, several buyers have made repeated pleas to authorities for intervention, citing the severe impact on their financial stability and well-being. Despite these efforts, many of them remain uncertain about the future of their investments, adding to their ongoing hardships.
One such buyer, Sushma Yadav, secretary of the Greenopolis Welfare Association, shared the emotional and financial toll that the prolonged delays have taken on her life. “I dedicated my hard-earned savings to this project. Twelve years have passed, and I still find myself without a home. With mounting medical expenses for my old parents, education expenses for my daughter, and the increasing cost of living, it has become increasingly challenging for me to manage the financial burden. The prospect of obtaining the flat seems increasingly bleak,” she said.
The court’s ruling has provided hope to the buyers who have long awaited resolution. While the immediate relief is welcomed, many remain cautious about the timeline for possession. The project’s continued delay has caused significant emotional and financial stress, and homebuyers are now looking to Orris Infrastructure to adhere to the court’s order and ensure that the
While Orris Group has committed to complying with the court's order, the situation underscores the challenges faced by homebuyers in ensuring their rights are protected and that they receive the homes they were promised.
