The commissioning of Line-I of the Mumbai Metro Project not only eliminated travel woes for Mumbaikars but gave a boost to the property prices in several micro-markets of the city.

The Maharashtra Real Estate Regulatory Authority (MahaRERA) has fined the developer of the Bhagtani Serenity project at Powai in Mumbai, JVPD Properties Private Limited, for failing to deliver the project on time. It penalised the developer with a sum of Rs 7.10 crore along with an interest of 15 per cent to be paid to 21 homebuyers. The buyers, who the developer referred to as only investors, had booked apartments under the project during 2013 and 2015 but only received a letter from the developer citing approval related delays as a reason.
