This article ranks the tallest buildings in India that stand at least 190 metres (623 ft) tall, based on standard height measurements. This means that spires and other architectural details are included in the official height, but not antenna masts, as it is defined by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat. Only habitable buildings are ranked, which excludes radio masts and towers, observation towers, temples, chimneys, and other tall architectural structures.[1]

The era of skyscrapers in India began with the completion of the LIC Building in Chennai in 1959. With 12 floors initially, it was the first skyscraper in the country and remained the tallest building in the country until 1961, when it was surpassed by the 25-story Usha Kiran Building in Mumbai.[2] Many taller buildings have appeared in various cities in the country ever since. Palais Royale in Mumbai had structurally topped out in 2018 as the tallest building in the country with a height of 320 meters, but the building is still under construction. Lokhandwala Minerva, also in Mumbai, with a height of 301 metres (988 feet) and 78 floors,[3][4] is the tallest completed building in the country.[5] Several taller buildings are under construction,[6] and some are on hold.[7] The tallest buildings in some of the Indian cities are:-

  1. Mumbai: Palais Royale
  2. Kolkata: The 42
  3. Noida: Supernova Spira
  4. Gurugram: Trump Towers Delhi NCR Towers 1 & 2
