India’s skyline has changed faster in the last five years than in the past two decades. Since 2020, a wave of high-rise residential and commercial towers has reshaped major cities, with heights exceeding 250 and even 300 metres. Most of this growth has been concentrated in Mumbai, but newer cities are now entering the race.

Here’s a look at the top 10 buildings in India completed after 2020, based on the latest available data as of April 2026:

Lokhandwala Minerva (Mumbai, ~301 AD, completed 2023-24)

This 78-storey residential tower is currently the tallest completed building in India, setting a new benchmark for height and luxury living. Arav Tower, Piramal Aranya (Mumbai, ~282 AD, completed 2023)

One of the tallest residential towers in the country, it is part of a distinguished cluster in Byculla that exceeds 250 metres.

World One (Mumbai, ~280 metres, completed 2020)

World One has truly begun the era of modern skyscrapers in India. It was supposed to be longer. However, it stands out as one of the tallest towers in the country and sets the stage for everything that followed.

World View (Mumbai, ~277 metres, completed 2020)

This went up right next to World One. Seeing them together, you can tell that Mumbai is not slowing down with high-rise homes any time soon.

Lodha Park Towers (Mumbai, ~264–268 AD, post-2020 phases completed)

Here you have a group – Marquis, Chiara, Allura – all built as part of one big “vertical neighbourhood”. The days of standalone skyscrapers are over; Now, it’s about creating entire communities in the sky.

Trump Tower Mumbai (Mumbai, approximately 268 metres, completed 2021)

Luxury and brand meet here. Trump Tower has tapped into India’s growing appetite for upscale, branded living spaces that feel more like a statement than just a place to live.

Three Sixty West Tower B (Mumbai, approximately 260 metres, completed 2020)

This tower contains hotel and residential spaces. It is one of the tallest mixed-use buildings in the country and highlights that these projects don’t just choose one function, they do it all.

Rustomji Crown Towers (Mumbai, approximately 259 metres, completed 2023)

You have two towers here, both part of the wave of luxury high-rise homes that are changing the face of Mumbai’s skyline. The very luxurious ambiance is evident.

Oberoi Commerz (Mumbai, ~225 metres, completed 2023)

Not everything is tall and residential. The Oberoi Commerz proves that even office towers are looking towards the sky these days. It is one of the largest trading towers built recently and keeps the trading game strong.

SAS Crown (Hyderabad, ~235 metres, completed 2025)

Finally, a break from Mumbai. Hyderabad’s SAS Crown joins the 200m club and shows that skyscraper fever isn’t limited to just one city. This project signals the emergence of new horizons across India.

What has changed in just five years?

The biggest shift is size. Before 2020, buildings taller than 250 meters were rare in India. Today, several towers cross this sign, and several more are under construction.

Another obvious trend is that most of these skyscrapers are residential buildings rather than offices. Developers are focusing on premium housing, driven by demand in dense urban areas.

Bottom line

India’s horizon is not only growing, it is accelerating. Mumbai still dominates the list, but projects like SAS Crown in Hyderabad show that other cities are starting to catch up. With taller towers under construction, the next five years could change the picture again.
