India Tower (previously known as the Park Hyatt Tower; also referred to as the Dynamix Balwas Tower or DB Tower) is a cancelled 126-story, 707.5 m (2,321 ft) megatall skyscraper in Mumbai, India. Originally planned for completion in 2016, construction was put on hold in May 2011 due to disputes between the developers and Mumbai's civic authorities, and later cancelled in 2015.[1][2]
As of 2023, there have been no updates regarding the construction of the building, rendering it a significant example of stalled megaprojects in Mumbai.

Planning and construction
The Dynamix Balwas Group proposed the tower project in 2008 as Park Hyatt Tower, initially designed as an 85-story structure with a height of 301.1 m (988 ft).[3] Following its initial cancellation, the project was revived in 2010 with a redesigned and larger plan.
In January 2010, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation approved construction for the site located at Charni Road in Girgaon, southern Mumbai, just north of the city's historical CBD (Central Business District).[4] Site preparation commenced in late 2010, but a stop-work order was issued in May 2011 due to payment disputes. Ultimately, the project was officially cancelled on 16 October 2015 due to these ongoing issues and lack of compliance with regulatory requirements.[5]

Although officially proposal, discussions regarding the potential redevelopment of the India Tower site continue. There is a renewed interest in high-rise developments in Mumbai, with urban planners and local authorities examining the legacy of stalled projects like India Tower. These discussions highlight the pressing infrastructure needs of the city and the possibility of future developments that align with urban growth and sustainability goals.
