The Ministry of Housing and Urban‑Rural Development said it stepped up
enforcement in 2025 against illegal subcontracting and transfer of construction
work, carrying out 260,270 project inspections nationwide. Local housing and
construction authorities have imposed penalties including fines, confiscation of
illegal gains, suspension for rectification, revocation of qualifications,
restrictions on bidding eligibility and orders to cease practice. The ministry
instructed local authorities to intensify efforts to curb certificate‑renting
and sham affiliation, strengthen construction‑market supervision and improve the
market environment.
