India’s skyscraper journey began in 1959 with the LIC Building in Chennai. Featuring 12 floors, it was the country’s first skyscraper and held the title of the tallest building until 1961, when Mumbai’s Usha Kiran Building, a 25-storey tower, surpassed it. Since then, India’s urban skyline has evolved dramatically with the construction of taller and more complex high-rises across multiple cities.

As of May 2025, the tallest building in India is Palais Royale in Mumbai, which structurally topped out at 320 metres in 2018. However, it remains under construction. The tallest completed building is also in Mumbai—Lokhandwala Minerva, which stands 301 metres (988 feet) tall with 78 floors. Numerous other projects that exceed this height are currently under development or have been placed on hold.

Mumbai remains the undisputed leader in vertical construction, boasting over 200 skyscrapers and approximately 5,600 high-rise buildings throughout the Mumbai Metropolitan Region. Meanwhile, the Delhi National Capital Region (NCR) has seen extensive high-rise growth, particularly in its suburbs, with 27 skyscrapers and about 5,200 high-rise structures.

In southern India, Hyderabad has emerged as a high-rise hub, featuring 25 completed skyscrapers and over 110 more under construction. Kolkata follows with 14 skyscrapers and around 1,000 high-rise buildings. Other cities with significant high-rise activity include Bengaluru, Chennai, Ahmedabad, Pune, Kochi, Mangaluru, Surat, and GIFT City.
