Housing Ministry Launches Unified RERA Portal To Boost Real Estate Transparency
The Union Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) has unveiled a unified Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) portal, rera.mohua.gov.in, aimed at standardising regulatory oversight and enhancing transparency across India’s real estate sector. Launched during the fifth meeting of the Central Advisory Council (CAC), the portal is positioned as a one-stop platform for all stakeholders, facilitating the sharing of best practices among States and Union Territories (UTs).
Officials highlighted that the unified platform is a key step toward strengthening accountability in the housing sector. “RERA has fundamentally empowered homebuyers, ensured timely delivery of projects, and instilled discipline across the real estate ecosystem,” said a senior ministry official. The portal will assist States and UTs in implementing RERA consistently, protecting the interests of citizens while expediting project approvals and grievance resolution. Over the last eight years, RERA has emerged as a transformative reform in India’s real estate landscape. According to ministry data, 35 States and UTs have established RERA authorities, 29 have set up appellate tribunals, and 27 have appointed adjudicating officers. So far, the portal has registered over 1.5 lakh projects and 1.06 lakh agents, while resolving nearly 1.47 lakh homebuyer complaints, demonstrating a growing institutional capability to monitor and regulate the sector effectively.
A major focus of the CAC meeting was addressing legacy stalled projects and implementing the recommendations of the Amitabh Kant committee. Officials emphasised the adoption of Standard Operating Procedures (SoPs) to streamline the functioning of RERA authorities, ensure compliance with orders, and strengthen enforcement mechanisms. The council also recommended developing a structured framework to expedite stalled project completion and promote uniformity in RERA implementation across all States. Experts believe that the unified portal will enable better monitoring of industry trends, informed policymaking, and faster grievance resolution. By centralising project data, the platform provides an integrated view of ongoing developments, facilitating both transparency for buyers and operational efficiency for developers.
The MoHUA also proposed forming a central-level committee comprising representatives from various stakeholders to ensure that rules and regulations under RERA remain aligned with the Act’s overarching framework. Officials expect that this move will further strengthen oversight, reduce bureaucratic bottlenecks, and reinforce trust between homebuyers and developers. With the unified RERA portal, the ministry aims not only to streamline regulatory processes but also to instil a culture of accountability and citizen-centric governance in the real estate sector. As urban India continues to expand, the initiative reflects the government’s commitment to building sustainable, equitable, and transparent housing markets, aligning with broader urban development goals.
