India Tower (previously known as the Park Hyatt Tower; also known as the Dynamix Balwas Tower or DB Tower) is a 126-storey, 700 m (2,300 ft) tall skyscraper that was under construction in the city of Mumbai, India. Construction was halted in 2011.^[3]

Planning

The Dynamix Balwas realtor group first proposed the project, under the name of Park Hyatt Tower, in 2008. The Dynamix proposal would have been an 85-storey tower with a height of 301.1 metres (988 ft).^[4] The project was subsequently dropped, before being revived and amended in 2010. In January 2010, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation authorised the tower's construction on a site located on Charni Road in Marine Lines, just north of Mumbai's historical district.^[5]
