Sydney homeowners have accused Bollywood producer and builder Sippy Grewal of abandoning construction projects and leaving them with half-finished homes. Grewal, who manages the Alaxia Group, is alleged to have failed to deliver on promises while maintaining a lavish lifestyle, including luxury cars and private jets.
One of the affected clients, a resident of Riverstone in northwest Sydney, reportedly signed a construction agreement with Alaxia Group in 2021, expecting the project to be completed within six months. Three years later, the home remains unfinished, despite the client paying a significant portion of the contract’s value.
Allegations have surfaced that Grewal demanded additional payments from clients beyond the agreed contract price to continue construction. Many families, already under financial strain, have been left in limbo, juggling rental expenses and mortgages on incomplete homes.
While homeowners struggle, Grewal has been seen attending Bollywood premieres and high-profile events alongside his brother, Indian actor and singer Gippy Grewal.
The Alaxia Group, which oversees multiple businesses, is now under investigation by Building Commission NSW. Authorities have already taken measures, including suspending or revoking the licenses of several subsidiaries. The actions come as part of a broader effort by the commission to restore standards and accountability in the construction industry.
Media attempts to question Grewal about the allegations have been met with resistance. He avoided reporters, while his wife, who is also involved in the business, provided responses to some inquiries.
The investigations are ongoing, with affected homeowners seeking justice and resolution as they navigate the fallout of Grewal’s alleged actions. The case highlights the growing demand for stricter oversight and reforms in the construction industry to protect vulnerable consumers.
