Gpa to sister and jda between sister (as my agent) and builder

I inherited my widowed mother's self-acquired house property as her son through Probate of her Will. As I am an NRI, I gave GPA to my only sister (we are the only siblings) who entered into a JDA with the Builder for Construction of 5 Flats with 1 flat for my sister and 1 flat for myself and the remaining 3 flats to builder for his sale which all completed in year 2000. My sister died in 2015. Upon my return to India (Chennai) last year I see that my flat is not registered in my name although I am the original owner of Land. Please advice as to how should I proceed further to register my flat in my name.

Quick Summary

An NRI inherited a property in Chennai and granted a General Power of Attorney (GPA) to his sister, who then entered into a Joint Development Agreement (JDA) with a builder. The JDA resulted in the construction of five flats, with one designated for the NRI. However, upon returning to India, the NRI discovered his flat was not registered in his name. He is seeking advice on how to proceed with registering his flat.
