The high volume of approvals is attributed to rigorous scrutiny and streamlined processes within MahaRera's registration department, ensuring that only projects meeting legal, technical, and financial criteria are cleared.
The data reflects both sustained demand and tighter regulatory enforcement, shaping Maharashtra's real estate market.
