In a serious development impacting Mumbai’s urban redevelopment sector, multiple flat owners have lodged complaints against Godrej Properties Ltd. regarding poor finishing quality and unresolved structural defects. V. Rajagopalan, owner of Flat B-1002, clarified that while basic civil construction is satisfactory, the finishing items—particularly window systems and AC ductwork—are of noticeably inferior quality. Despite repeated communications since the pre-possession stage, major concerns remain unaddressed, casting doubts on the quality control measures followed by one of India’s oldest and most reputed real estate brands.
The Sprouts News Special Investigation Team reviewed detailed grievances raised by residents, with particular focus on faulty air-conditioning duct installations. Shockingly, AC pipes in several flats run nearly 2.5 feet below the ceiling height, severely impacting aesthetics and functional space. Experts warn that such substandard duct positioning compromises energy efficiency, damages property value, and violates accepted standards for Mumbai redevelopment and luxury housing societies.
• Godrej Properties: Structural Defects Raise Broader Urban Development Policy Concerns
Beyond the AC duct issue, homeowners have flagged widespread problems including window shutters that fail to close smoothly, visible door gaps, and use of inferior-quality fittings. The Sprouts News Special Investigation Team confirmed that these are not isolated defects but represent a larger pattern across multiple wings of the project.
Flat owners accuse Godrej Properties of compromising quality to maximize profits, despite charging premium rates during booking. Residents believe the AC duct design lacks proper architectural oversight, with one remarking that “even a simple mason could have done a better job.” These developments underline a critical gap in Mumbai’s urban development policy regarding housing society regulation, and call into question the enforcement of construction quality norms.

• Godrej Properties: Potential Demonstrations Highlight Rising Homebuyer Discontent
Aggrieved residents, led by V. Rajagopalan and others, have warned that if the grievances continue to be neglected, they will organize public demonstrations at the building premises and other strategic locations. “This is not a threat but a legitimate reaction to systematic cheating by a 127-year-old corporate,” said one resident, expressing collective frustration.
The Sprouts News Special Investigation Team highlights that growing unrest among homebuyers could significantly tarnish Godrej Properties’ brand reputation at a time when Mumbai’s redevelopment initiatives critically depend on transparency, trust, and buyer confidence. Analysts caution that unresolved construction flaws and customer dissatisfaction could weaken the foundation of future urban redevelopment efforts in India’s financial capital.
