Lotus Panache
Sector 110 · Noida, Uttar Pradesh
high Risk
Under CIRP
Lotus Panache is a materially different situation from most distressed projects — 27 of 30 confirmed towers are ready to move, OC is obtained or applied for, and the September 2026 Supreme Court order protects buyers from NOIDA's penalty charge demands. For the ready-to-move towers, the CIRP is a known, manageable risk rather than a dealbreaker. The price (₹10,000–14,000/sqft) reflects a discount to clear-title projects, and the project has delivered strong appreciation since the 2010 launch BSP of ₹3,000/sqft. 17, 18, 19 carry more risk — construction is ongoing and OC is pending — but at ₹7,000/sqft the discount prices in this uncertainty. In all cases, do independent legal due diligence on title chain, OC status, and CIRP implications before committing.
Conditions to reconsider
- Verify OC status of your specific tower independently before any transaction
- Get legal advice on the title chain under the CIRP — do not rely on the developer or broker alone
- For 17, 18, 19: confirm construction progress on-site before committing at the discounted price
- Track NOIDA dues settlement — it is the primary variable affecting all remaining OC and registry timelines

Possession Timeline
Estimated Possession
Q2 2027
27 of 30 confirmed towers are ready to move with OC obtained or applied for — possession is effectively available now for most buyers. 17, 18, and 19 are under active construction by the CoC; 31 is TBD. Assuming construction on the pending towers completes by end-2026 and OC follows within 6 months, these should be ready by mid-2027. The main variable is the NOIDA dues settlement, which affects NOC timelines for pending OC applications.

Price Context
Lotus Panache launched in 2010 at ₹3,000/sqft. Current resale prices reflect two distinct markets within the same project: ready-to-move towers (27 completed towers, including tower 3) trade at ₹10,000–14,000/sqft, while the three under-construction towers (17, 18, 19) are available at ₹7,000/sqft. The spread is rational — buyers in RTM towers are paying for certainty and near-term registry; the discount on pending towers prices in the construction completion risk and later OC timeline.

Analyst View
Risk partially priced in
The RTM tower pricing (₹10,000–14,000/sqft) is a 3.3–4.7x return on the 2010 launch BSP of ₹3,000/sqft — the project has delivered strong appreciation for early buyers despite the CIRP. The NOIDA dues and ongoing insolvency proceedings are risks but they are widely known and reflected in the discount vs. clear-title Sector 110 projects. Buyers should treat the CIRP as a known risk to manage, not an absolute barrier.

Flat Registry
Registry status varies by tower. Towers with OC can proceed to registry; the September 2026 Supreme Court ruling explicitly protects buyers from NOIDA's penalty charge demands. However, the ₹702 crore developer dues to NOIDA Authority create uncertainty for towers still awaiting OC, and the active CIRP means all transactions require careful due diligence on title chain. 17, 18, and 19 cannot be registered until construction completes and OC is granted.
What's blocking it
- 17, 18, 19: OC not yet obtained — construction still in progress
- NOIDA Authority dues (₹702 crore) create NOC uncertainty for pending towers
- CIRP moratorium — any property transaction in an insolvency requires care with title chain
What would unlock it
- OC obtained for 17, 18, 19 on construction completion
- NCLT-mediated settlement of NOIDA dues under the resolution plan
- For RTM towers with OC: buyers can register now — SC order protects against penalty charge demands

What Should You Do?
If you already own here
- Do now
Do not pay penalty charges to NOIDA Authority
The September 2026 Supreme Court order (Civil Appeal No. 3132 of 2026) explicitly protects homebuyers from the developer's time-extension and penal interest charges. Refuse any such demand from NOIDA Authority and cite this order.
- Do now
Confirm your unit is registered as a financial creditor in CIRP
Contact the Resolution Professional (RP) to verify your unit is on record in the CIRP proceedings. This protects your claim and ensures you receive notices of any plan modifications.
- Soon
Initiate registry if your tower has OC
If your tower has received an Occupancy Certificate, you can proceed with flat registration. The SC order removes the NOIDA penalty charge obstacle. Get a lawyer to verify your specific tower's OC status and title chain before proceeding.
- Soon
Stay active in your RWA
An active Resident Welfare Association has more leverage in NCLT proceedings than individuals. Collective voice is particularly important for pushing the CoC on 17, 18, 19 timelines and NOIDA dues resolution.
- Monitor
Track NCLT hearings for IB-1248/(PB)/2018
Monitor NCLT Principal Bench orders. Any NOIDA dues settlement, plan modification, or change to construction timelines will be notified through the NCLT order first.
If you're considering buying
- Do now
Understand the CIRP risk before committing
This is an active insolvency — the project is under court supervision, not normal developer ownership. Get independent legal advice on the title chain, OC status of the specific tower you are buying, and what happens to your rights if the resolution plan changes.
- Do now
Restrict consideration to RTM towers with OC
27 towers are ready to move with OC obtained or applied for. These carry meaningfully lower risk than 17, 18, 19. The price premium (₹10,000–14,000 vs ₹7,000/sqft) is justified by the reduced construction and OC uncertainty.
- Soon
Verify NOIDA dues impact on your specific tower's registry
The ₹702 crore dues affect the project overall but the impact on individual tower registrations varies. Have a lawyer confirm whether your target tower's OC and registry is clear of the dues dispute before paying.

Expert Analysis
Updated 29 Sept 2026Lotus Panache — Expert Analysis
Last updated: September 2026
The Core Situation
Lotus Panache is a 4,018-unit project that has been under the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) since January 2019 — over seven years. The Successful Resolution Applicant (SRA), SMV Agencies Private Limited, is responsible for completing construction under the "Pool and Build" mechanism approved by NCLT.
What the Supreme Court Ruling Means
In September 2026, the Supreme Court ruled that homebuyers cannot be made to bear the developer's penalty charges to NOIDA Authority. This is significant: NOIDA had been demanding time-extension and penal interest charges as a condition for NOCs and flat registries. The SC order removes this burden from buyers — but does not eliminate NOIDA's dues claim against the developer entity (Granite Gate Properties).
The ₹702 Crore Problem
NOIDA Authority's outstanding dues of ₹702.59 crore remain the central unresolved issue. Until these dues are settled — either through the CIRP resolution plan or direct negotiation — building plan approvals and flat registrations remain at risk.
What Buyers Should Watch
- SMV Agencies construction milestones — Is work actually progressing on site?
- NOIDA dues resolution — Any settlement between NCLT, SRA, and NOIDA Authority
- Building plan revalidation — Required before pending towers can be handed over
- Next NCLT order — Any modification to the resolution plan timelines
