'''India Tower''' (previously known as the '''Park Hyatt Tower'''; also known as the '''Dynamix Balwas Tower''' or '''DB Tower''') is a canceled 126-story, {{cvt|707.5|m}} megatall [[skyscraper]] that began construction in the city of [[Mumbai, India]], in 2010. The tower was originally planned for completion in 2016, but construction work was put on hold in 2011 due to a dispute between the tower's developers and Mumbai's civic authorities.<ref name="ctbuh1" /><ref name=Cloud>{{cite web|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/mumbai/Mumbais-tallest-towers-have-largely-been-under-a-cloud/articleshow/18039422.cms|title=Mumbai's tallest towers have largely been under a cloud|work=Times of India|date=16 January 2013|accessdate=20 January 2015}}</ref>

==Planning and construction==
The Dynamix Balwas [[realtor]] Group first proposed the project, under the name of ''Park Hyatt Tower'', in 2008. The Dynamix Balwas proposal would have been an 85-story tower with a height of {{Convert|301.1|m|ft|0}}.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://skyscraperpage.com/cities/?buildingID=62367|title=Park Hyatt Tower|publisher=Skyscraperpage|accessdate=20 July 2010}}</ref> The project was subsequently dropped, before being revived and amended in 2010. In January 2010, the [[Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai|Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation]] authorised the tower's construction on a site located at [[Charni Road]] in [[Girgaon]], southern Mumbai, just north of Mumbai's historical CBD (Central Business District).<ref name="TOIJan2010">{{cite news |url=http://www.mumbaimirror.com/index.aspx?Page=article&sectname=News%20-%20City&sectid=2&contentid=201001282010012802110650cac98edb |title=BMC nod for 103-storey India Tower |last=Suryawanshi |first=Sudhir |date=28 January 2010 |newspaper=[[Mumbai Mirror]] |accessdate=25 March 2010 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120404163718/http://www.mumbaimirror.com/index.aspx?Page=article&sectname=News%20-%20City&sectid=2&contentid=201001282010012802110650cac98edb |archivedate=4 April 2012 |df=dmy-all }}</ref> Site preparation work commenced in late 2010. However, in May 2011 Mumbai's civic building proposals department issued a stop-work order due to a payment dispute with the developers, halting the tower's construction indefinitely. The tower was cancelled on 16 October 2015.{{citation-needed|date=May 2018}}
