“Sir, your apartment will be ready in 18 months.”But here’s the truth: it’ll take 36. You’ll pay 40% more. And the walls? They’ll crack before your second Diwali.This is not one bad project—it’s a pattern. A system. A broken model that repeats across India, from Mumbai to Hyderabad to Gurgaon. Shiny brochures, lofty promises, and then… the waiting begins.In this eye-opening episode, we expose the dirty secrets of Indian construction: – Why 70% of projects are delayed (and who’s really to blame) – How builders cut corners and shift funds between projects like it’s a Ponzi scheme – The ₹4 crore repair disaster no one warned buyers about – Why “jugaad” has replaced engineering—and what it’s costing the countryBut we’re not here just to complain.
