NOIDA: Noida Authority has directed Suraksha Realty, which took over all Jaypee Infratech Limited (JIL) projects through insolvency proceedings in May 2024, to take over the maintenance of Jaypee Kosmos in Sector 135 after the developer’s subsidiary firm decided to cease its operations from Jan 1 and halt manpower and financial support for housekeeping and security services.
The Authority, during a mediation meeting on Jan 6, warned of legal action if Suraksha did not provide the services till completion certificate was granted to the partially completed project.
On Nov 22, Jaiprakash Associates Limited-Facility Management Group (JAL-FMG), which managed the society’s maintenance since 2015, asked the society’s apartment owners’ association (AOA) to take over the housekeeping and related services.
The AOA subsequently submitted a complaint with the Noida Authority expressing its inability to manage these services as the company did not transfer the bank accounts or the balance amount collected as charges paid so far by the residents towards such services. Residents also pointed out that several towers and electricity infrastructure in the project were still incomplete, and the agency has an outstanding water bill.
“During the meeting, Suraksha said as the Kosmos project was nearly complete — its essential infrastructure, including power, plumbing, and sanitation facilities — and has an established AOA, they proposed handover to the residents’ body. However, upon reviewing the situation, the ACEO of Noida Authority determined that the project was far from completion, making the handover proposal neither legally viable nor practically feasible at this stage,” Brijesh Singh, a resident of the society, said.
Suraksha also submitted that maintenance operations were running at a loss due to the AOA’s resistance to raising service charges.
Kosmos AOA submitted the complete Wish Town layout and highlighted that the condominium lacked green spaces. “Suraksha was instructed to provide a comprehensive breakdown of common areas within the Kosmos cluster, including community spaces, green areas, commercial zones, healthcare facilities, and roads and transport infrastructure, which would undergo Noida Authority verification,” Pushkar Singh, another resident, said.
