The Uttar Pradesh Real Estate Regulatory Authority (UPRERA) is set to approve approximately 400 new real estate projects in 2026, a notable increase from 308 projects approved in 2025. UPRERA Chairman Sanjay R Bhoosreddy attributed this growth to significant infrastructure developments, including the Noida International Airport, the Ganga Expressway, and expanded Metro connectivity across Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities. He noted that UPRERA's project approvals have steadily increased from 190 projects annually until 2023 to 259 in 2024 and 308 in 2025. In the first four months of 2026, 106 projects have already been registered, reflecting heightened investor interest. The authority has also reported a 70% decline in complaints, indicating a healthier market environment. Bhoosreddy emphasized that the real estate sector is no longer limited to major cities like Lucknow and Noida but is expanding to other cities such as Kanpur, Gorakhpur, and Varanasi. The state government is pursuing policies to support real estate growth, aiming to make Uttar Pradesh a $1 trillion economy. Additionally, UPRERA has fixed a nominal fee of ₹1,000 for transferring flats to legal heirs, providing relief to homebuyers. Investment in the sector has surged, with ₹68,328 crore recorded in 2025 and ₹25,156 crore in just the first four months of 2026.
