Highrise buildings were rare found only in the prime localities of metro cities like Mumbai. However, cities like Mumbai have geographical constraints and the rising urban population and limited land availability made vertical growth necessary. In 2019, the state government of Maharashtra reduced FSI premium making highrise construction financially viable for developers. This resulted in the development of highrises all over the Mumbai Metropolitan region to accommodate the rising demand for housing.
