The promoter entity carries 1 complaints at K-RERA across its projects. The median Desai Developers project scores 52/100 on investment merit (below the Bengaluru average); the best, Desai Empire, scores 61.
Delivery is judged on extensions filed, not on handover dates, because RERA records extensions reliably and handovers late. Extensions are common across Bengaluru; compare the rate with other developers below.

| Project | Months overdue | Extensions | Built · booked | Complaints | Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Desai Green Gardens Hebbal / Thanisandra / Nagawara | 33 | 1 | 100% of schedule · — | 1 | 47 |
Overdue is measured against the completion date in the original registration. Many are covered by extensions, which RERA grants for up to a year at a time.
