    What is a Major Project in Category 1?

    Ali Faizan Syed1 min read0 viewsUpdated 1/2/2026
    Category 1 projects are major real estate developments where the Developer is directly responsible for management, operation, and maintenance. These projects are determined based on specific criteria approved by the DLD Director General. A Category 1 project must have an Owners Committee appointed by RERA from among resident owners to oversee the developer's management performance. This structure ensures that in large, complex communities, the developer maintains long-term accountability for the quality of infrastructure and utility services provided to the residents.
