Homebuyers of Smart World Orchard Protest in Sector 61, Gurugram

Buyers allege sales benefits were discontinued before possession

The group demands fair compensation, restoration of safe entry access
A group of homebuyers from the SmartWorld Orchard residential project in Sector 61, Gurugram has formed a collective action group to raise concerns about construction delays, safety risks, and alleged lack of transparency from the developer.
The project was marketed and sold in 2021 with a promised possession timeline of 2024. However, according to several buyers, the construction work at the site remains incomplete even in 2026, leaving many families uncertain about when they will receive their homes.
Homebuyers claim that while purchasing the flats, they were promised certain financial and sales benefits that would continue until possession of the apartments.
However, in 2024, these benefits were allegedly discontinued before the homes were delivered.
Buyers say the sudden change in terms has added financial pressure on families who were already waiting for the completion of their homes.
“We invested in this project based on commitments made at the time of booking. Stopping benefits before possession is unfair for buyers who are still waiting for their homes,” one member of the buyers’ group said.
Another major issue raised by the buyers is the change in the entry route to the society.
According to the group, access to the project has reportedly been rerouted through the rear side, which they say raises serious safety concerns, especially for women, children, and elderly residents.
Buyers claim that the alternative entry route lacks proper infrastructure and security arrangements, making it inconvenient and potentially unsafe for future residents.
Members of the collective have also raised concerns about information disclosure related to the surrounding area.
They claim that during the sale of the flats, buyers were not informed about the presence of a cremation ground located adjacent to the project site.
The group believes such details should have been transparently disclosed to buyers at the time of booking so that purchasers could make informed decisions.
Through their collective action, the homebuyers are demanding:
-
Fair compensation for the delay in possession
-
Restoration of safe and proper access to the project
-
Full transparency from the developer regarding project developments and surrounding infrastructure
The group has also urged authorities and relevant stakeholders to look into the matter and ensure that the concerns of homebuyers are addressed.
To bring attention to the issue, the buyers have started reaching out to other affected families and encouraging them to join the initiative.
The group is gathering evidence, documents, and testimonials from homeowners to strengthen their case and push for a resolution.
They have also launched online outreach efforts to connect with other buyers and raise awareness about the situation.

The collective says its goal is to support affected families, share evidence, and push for fair treatment and timely resolution for all homebuyers associated with the project.
