Number of sky scrapers rising in India
According to international terms a building that reaches or exceeds the height of 150 metres is considered to be a skyscraper. Until recently, Mumbai was the only Indian city with high-rise buildings. The financial capital continues to see the highest demand for skyscrapers, as the only option to grow there is vertically.
But it now seems that in the coming decade, Maximum City will receive an even bigger skyline, with a host of projects in the race to touch the sky being constructed. The demand for these high-rise buildings is certainly growing, and other cities are catching up with the speed. New Delhi which is the capital of India has around nearly a dozen of such buildings coming up.
The range of these sky scrapers are between heights of 150-300 metres. Kolkata too is catching up with 9 such residential buildings extending to the height of 245 metres either approved or under construction. Ahmedabad too has about 13 tall buildings which are under construction and are ranging between 200 metres to 410 metres. Hyderabad and Bangalore too are witnessing some development in construction of tall buildings for residential-commercial purpose with 2 or 3 approved projects.
