Lokhandwala Minerva is a supertall skyscraper in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. As of 2026, it is the tallest completed building and the second building to reach supertall height in India. ^[5]

Hafeez Contractor served as the chief architect for the tower, while JW Consultants were the structural engineers. The tower underwent a redesign in 2015 which reduced the final height by 6 m (20 ft). ^[6]

Controversies

Delayed possession hearings

In 2023, home buyers of Lokhandwala Minerva were granted interest on delayed possession after hearings before MahaRERA, the real estate regulatory authority of Maharashtra state. ^{[7] [8]}

Breach of conditions notice

In May 2023, the MahaRERA issued a show-cause notice, citing breach of conditions to Lokhandwala Kataria Constructions over false advertisements claiming the tower to be 90-storey tall, against the approved 77 floors. ^[9]
