posted on 11 MayJust moved into Mahira Homes 88B, some things surprising me
My possession for Mahira Homes 88B was in March and I'm still figuring out a lot for my tenant. The power backup here is... not full flat, just common areas and a couple of points. Is this normal for Gurgaon projects? Honestly, I thought full backup was standard. Also, the water supply sometimes feels iffy. Does tanker dependency really impact tenant attraction or future ROI for investors? Should I expect these issues to improve, or is this the reality?

It's a tough spot, U1. While affordable housing comes with its compromises, basic necessities like consistent water and power backup shouldn't be among them. It's the reality for many projects, especially in newer development zones like sector 88B, which might still be getting integrated into the main civic infrastructure. Did you check the builder-buyer agreement for specific clauses on these amenities? What are your next steps now that you've identified these issues?
Absolutely, tanker dependency and limited power backup are huge red flags for both tenants and future buyers. For investors, this translates directly into lower rental yields and slower appreciation. Why would someone pay good rent for a place where basic utilities are a constant struggle? It's not just about the price point, it's about livability.
Coming to the power backup, U1, unfortunately, non-full backup is quite standard for many affordable and even some mid-segment projects in Gurgaon. Full backup for the entire flat is usually a premium feature you find in higher-end societies. But yes, it *does* affect tenant attraction. In this scorching Gurugram summer, no one wants to live without AC or fridge backup. Current market conditions are already tough for landlords, so any amenity gap makes it harder to find good tenants.
True that. Gurgaon mein light jaana is common, so full backup is a necessity, not a luxury.
Exactly! My property near Airport Road also has limited backup, and I've lost two potential tenants because of it. They specifically asked about full backup for ACs and when I said no, they just walked away. It's a dealbreaker for working professionals.
U3 is right, I checked the RERA site too, Mahira 88B ka possession toh 2026 mein hai. U1, maybe you got possession of another Mahira project? Regardless, the water issue you mentioned is very common, especially in areas like Badshahpur and some parts of New Gurgaon. Tanker dependency is a huge pain for tenants, they usually move out for better options if it's too frequent. It definitely impacts rentability and sometimes even property value in the long run.
Totally agree with U5. Builders ki toh aadat hai yeh sab. Promises on paper, reality is something else.
Haan yaar, Mahira ka track record utna accha nahi hai delays ke maamle mein. Mere ek dost ne Mahira Homes 103 mein book kiya tha, 2 saal late mila tha, aur amenities bhi compromised the. Builders often cut corners on things like power backup and water management to save costs, especially in the affordable segment.

Wait, Mahira Homes 88B ka possession March mein kaise ho gaya? Uska toh official possession date 2026-11-01 hai as per RERA. Are you sure you're talking about the same project or perhaps an earlier tower/phase? Please clarify, because this is a big red flag if you've already taken possession.
Bhai, you're not alone. Yeh power backup ka issue toh har dusre affordable housing project mein hai. Builders promise the world, deliver half.
