List of tallest buildings in India

This article ranks the tallest buildings in India that are at least 190 metres (623 ft) in height, based on standard height measurements as defined by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat. These measurements include spires and other architectural elements but exclude antenna masts. Only habitable buildings are included in this list, thereby excluding structures such as radio masts and towers, observation towers, temples, chimneys, and other non-habitable architectural structures.^[1]

The development of initial skyscrapers in India began with the completion of the LIC Building in Chennai in 1959. Comprising 12 floors, it was the first skyscraper in the country and remained the tallest building in India until 1961, when it was surpassed by the 25-storey Usha Kiran Building in Mumbai.^[2] Since then, numerous taller buildings have been constructed across various cities.

As of May 2026, Lokhandwala Minerva, located in Mumbai, is the tallest completed building in India,^[3] standing at 301 metres (988 feet) and 78 floors.^[4][5] Several taller buildings are either under construction^[6] or currently on hold.^[7]
