Delhi: BLHP (Better Life Happier People), a not-for-profit civil society platform working towards strengthening homebuyers’ rights, successfully organised a national webinar titled “RERA 2.0 – The Reform India Needs” on 2 March 2026. The session brought together leading legal experts, policy thinkers and over 50 engaged participants to deliberate on the evolving landscape of real estate regulation in India and the urgent reforms required under the proposed RERA 2.0 framework.
The webinar focused on structural gaps in the existing regulatory regime and the need to build a stronger, more transparent and accountable system that protects homebuyers while ensuring balanced sectoral growth. With help of speakers
Dr. Nityanand Singh
A distinguished academician, policy expert and constitutional thinker, Dr. Singh, who serves as the constitution maker of BLHP, delivered a thought-provoking address highlighting structural deficiencies in the present RERA framework. He emphasized the need for institutional strengthening, enhanced enforcement powers, systemic accountability and transparent compliance mechanisms under RERA 2.0. His address underlined the importance of long-term structural reform rather than piecemeal corrections. And
Mr. Kumar Aniket
Mr. Aniket, Director of BLHP and a seasoned legal professional, brought practical clarity to the discussion by addressing ground-level implementation challenges and regulatory inconsistencies across various states. He stressed the urgent need for harmonised compliance mechanisms, stronger adjudicatory systems, faster dispute resolution models and integration of technology-driven transparency in real estate governance.
He also responded to key questions regarding BLHP’s role — clarifying that BLHP is neither a broking company nor merely an advisory platform, but a structured buyers’ association aimed at building institutional dialogue, legal awareness and trust between homebuyers and developers.
Both speakers were widely appreciated for their structured analysis, depth of knowledge and forward-looking reform recommendations.
The webinar covered:
* Structural limitations within the current RERA framework
* Need for stronger enforcement and accountability mechanisms
* Harmonisation of State RERA authorities
* Speedier dispute resolution systems
* Enhanced buyer protection and reduction of project delays
* Policy-level reforms envisioned under RERA 2.0
A significant part of the discussion highlighted the role of civil society platforms like BLHP in bridging the trust deficit between buyers and builders through transparency, awareness and constructive engagement.

The session concluded with an engaging and solution-oriented Q&A round. Distinguished participants including Adv. Deepak Kumar, Mr. Sanidhya Kulshreshtha, Mr. Ravi Pandey and Adv. Yashika Modi raised pertinent questions concerning implementation barriers, enforcement timelines, regulatory oversight and citizen participation in reform processes.
One of the central questions addressed whether builders, backed by strong legal teams, would meaningfully engage with platforms like BLHP. The speakers responded by reaffirming that institutional dialogue, collective representation and policy advocacy remain the most sustainable pathways toward systemic reform and balanced sectoral accountability.
