This building is on Jawahar Lal Nehru road. For the past 50 years, buildings like Tata Centers, Chatterjee International, and Everest House were seen to dominate the horizon.

Let’s say that in 2017, there were 144 buildings with a height of more than 200 meters in the world, of which only three buildings of such building with this much height were of India. For the first time in the country in 2010, two buildings of 200 meters height were prepared. China has remained the world’s number one country for the last ten years to build skyscrapers.
