Thinking of upgrading to a 3BHK, some builders are shady?

Currently in a 2BHK in Sector 75, thinking of upgrading. Already have a home loan, so EMI is a big factor. I'm looking at 3BHKs and villas. Heard mixed reviews about different builders. Like, Ajnara's on-time delivery record...kuch log bolte hain sahi hai, kuch log bolte hain late dete hain possession. Is the price jump worth it for a better builder? Also, read about hidden charges with some builders. PLC aur EDC ke naam pe loot te hain kya? My budget is around ₹1.5 crore. Should I consider a slightly older project for better value or stick to new launches from reputed builders? Honestly not sure. Has anyone else faced this dilemma? Am I the only one jo confuse ho raha hai?
