List of tallest buildings in India
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
India does not have many skyscrapers due to a low Floor space index. Most of the high rise buildings are in the commercial capital Mumbai, where space is a premium. Having skyscrapers puts a huge strain on existing infrastructure. Water, parking, fire fighting and earthquake damage are all some of the ills of skyscrapers and permission to construct such is usually denied. A building above 24 metres is classified as a high-rise. Here is the list of tallest buildings in India.

[edit] Future of skyscrapers in India
The tallest buildings currently under construction in India are The Imperial towers in Mumbai. They are set to be 252m [1] each, with a total of 60 floors.
In addition, Mumbai is currently planning to build India's first supertall tower on former textile mill land [2]. The tower is expected to feature 72 floors and reach a height of 1,050 ft.
Also in Mumbai, Oberoi is planning to construct a 90-storey residential structure in Worli [3], which, if built, will likely be the tallest all-residential structure in all of Asia-Pacific. The project is known as Oberoi Skyz.
Another of the highest residential complexes in the South Asia is coming up in south city [4] Calcutta with 4 residential 36-story skyscrapers under construction
Hyderabad proposed an 80-storey commercial tower [5] in its new business district, but it was later changed to 60-storey twin towers [6], before finally being finalized as 20-storey twins [7]. Land has reportedly already been acquired. In addition, a mega project consisting of a single 90-storey tower, sixteen 30 storey towers, and a mall has been announced.
