Orris Infrastructure MD Amit Gupta was arrested by Mumbai Police following forgery and cheating allegations filed by Godrej Properties regarding the Godrej Air project in Gurugram. This arrest adds to the company's ongoing legal difficulties, including a long-standing Enforcement Directorate investigation and multiple delayed projects, which have left thousands of homebuyers in uncertainty.
Mumbai Police have arrested Amit Gupta, the Managing Director of Gurugram-based Orris Infrastructure, in connection with a forgery and cheating case filed by Godrej Properties. The arrest, executed in Amritsar, relates to disputes surrounding the ‘Godrej Air’ real estate project in Gurugram, a joint venture between the two firms.
Allegations of Forgery in Godrej Partnership
The legal complaint lodged at the Vikhroli police station in March 2026 accuses Orris Infrastructure of making unauthorized alterations to statutory records filed with the Registrar of Companies. Specifically, Godrej Properties alleged that false documents, including a Form-3, were used to remove their nominated partner from the Limited Liability Partnership without authorization. The dispute also involves claims regarding the alleged transfer of Godrej’s 37.5% stake in the partnership. These actions have effectively frozen the working relationship between the two entities, with the matter currently under police investigation.
A Pattern of Legal and Financial Hurdles
The arrest marks a significant escalation in the ongoing legal troubles for Orris Infrastructure and its leadership. Aside from the current dispute with Godrej Properties, the company’s management has faced mounting pressure from multiple legal avenues. In July 2026, Gurugram police registered a separate FIR against the company’s directors, including Amit and Vijay Gupta, regarding a land collaboration agreement in Badha village, Manesar, citing cheating and criminal conspiracy.
Furthermore, the company has been under the scanner of the Enforcement Directorate for several years. In November 2024, the central agency conducted searches and seized assets worth over ₹31 crore, including luxury cars and bank guarantees, as part of an investigation into an alleged ₹500-crore real estate fraud. This history of regulatory scrutiny has severely impacted the company's financial stability, with recent records indicating a decline in net sales and increasing pressure from debt obligations.
Impact on Homebuyers and Market Trust
The primary concern arising from these repeated legal setbacks is the fate of ongoing housing projects. Thousands of homebuyers, particularly those invested in the ‘Greenopolis’ project, continue to face severe uncertainty. Years of project delays, combined with the company’s financial instability and frozen assets, have left many investors without possession of their homes despite having made substantial payments.
For the wider real estate sector, these developments highlight the risks inherent in joint venture projects where governance and record-keeping are compromised. Investors and homebuyers are increasingly cautious of developers involved in protracted litigation, as such disputes often lead to stalled construction, liquidity crunches, and a complete breakdown in project delivery. The next important steps for stakeholders will be the progress of the police investigation and whether any court-appointed intervention is initiated to protect the interests of the affected homebuyers.
