Residents of BPTP colonies in Greater Faridabad cite persistent civic failures
Greater Faridabad’s large plotted colonies developed by BPTP — through Countrywide Promoters Private Limited and associated entities — remain in a state of incomplete development even after a year of organised protest, residents and recent reports said. The matter, first escalated publicly in September 2025, continues unresolved as of 5–6 September 2026.
Hundreds of families who bought plots and floors in sectors developed across Sectors 75–89 said the neighbourhoods still lack finished roads, reliable sewerage and an assured water supply. Reports cite repeated sewage flooding of streets and household water availability cut for extended stretches ranging from 15 to 40 hours at a time. Despite these conditions, the builder is reported to be collecting Common Area Maintenance (CAM) and other charges from residents.
"A licensed township that behaves like an unfinished construction site."
The colonies were launched around 2004 with possession beginning from about 2012. Over two decades, the developments have formed one of Greater Faridabad’s largest private residential belts, but the promised transfer of internal civic infrastructure to the municipal body has not been completed for many sectors.
Scale of the development and outstanding handover
According to the recent account, the area footprint is substantial. The report lists large blocks and acreages across the plotted developments; Sectors 82–89 alone cover 571.30 acres while Sectors 75, 76 and 80 add 350.79 acres. Sector 77 was reported at 97.82 acres. Thousands of families live in multiple blocks identified as A, C, E, F, G, J, M, P and T, and in some blocks more than 10,000 residents were counted in protest reports.
| Sector group | Reported area |
|---|---|
| Sectors 82–89 | 571.30 acres |
| Sectors 75, 76 and 80 | 350.79 acres |
| Sector 77 | 97.82 acres |
Residents say they were sold a planned township with roads, sewerage networks, parks, street lighting and an eventual civic handover. Instead they face a dual burden: paying house tax to the Municipal Corporation of Faridabad while also remitting CAM and assorted repair charges to the builder, who continues to control internal infrastructure in many areas.
Administrative steps and current status
When the agitation intensified in September 2025, authorities indicated that several plotted colonies were being prepared for takeover by the Municipal Corporation. Reports at that time mentioned correspondence with the Director of Town Planning and directions from ministers to complete unfinished works and transfer the colonies. Residents were told the file was progressing, prompting demonstrations and a strike.
However, the assurances given at the time have not translated into a completed handover for many sectors. The recent reporting indicates that incomplete works remain incomplete, the builder continues to collect charges, and administrative meetings are ongoing without a final resolution to transfer internal services to the civic body.
- Immediate problems: Sewage flooding, lengthy water outages and unlit or incomplete roads in multiple sectors.
- Financial burden: Residents pay municipal house tax while also remitting CAM to the developer for services that remain under builder control.
- Scale: Several hundred to thousands of households across blocks within Sectors 75–89 are affected.
The situation leaves residents in a licensed township that, according to the recent account, continues to function in many respects like an unfinished construction site. The unresolved handover raises questions about timelines for completion of civic works, accountability for service shortfalls and the role of both the developer and municipal authorities in ensuring basic service provision.
As of the latest report, meetings and administrative correspondence continue but the core demands of residents — completion of infrastructure and formal takeover by the Municipal Corporation of Faridabad — remain unmet.
