-15 years back itself Mumbai had double the floating day time population than it’s residents.
-thankfully Mumbaikars are resourceful, they always manage a way to keep the city running, but the country cannot afford to puts all it’s financial eggs in one basket
-with the cost of construction + land acquisition, can build an entire mini city for the same cost it takes build one sky scraper in Mumbai
-there are enough satellite cities around Mumbai that can developed. Panvel airport and Navi Mumbai are one such plans
This is again, horizontal growth. As more and more people move to the cities, Mumbai will continue to grow. Its not like anybody can put a pause on it. Our country is a very crowded one and the population is expected to grow until 2050. Horizontal growth will obviously take up more precious land. Vertical growth is the best option for mumbai.

Build heights are proportional to urban density. In order to allow more people per sq km. in a city, you need to have road and rail transport infrastructure that support the required logistics and transport needs of more people per sq. km. In addition, you need more services such as more Hospitals and Schools. So if you want ubqiquitous Supertalls in Mumbai, you need to address the infrastructure limitations first.

from a Mumbai perspective, sure. Let it grow as per its capacity and requirement. No problem.

but from India’s economic security perspective, there should be and will be attempts to diversify urban infrastructure development funding, which is already happening anyways as evidenced by new metro construction projects around the country.

World one is 260, Omkar says 300, not sure. Diamond says 400 but is there any news about it!? Its doubtful that its going to be built.
My Bad. Yeah World One is 280 meter. 442 meter was the proposed height which got objected by AAI as pointed out nicely by @Okabe Rintarou.
Others are under various stages of construction.

This is a good video I found on the timeline of Mumbai metro.

Hopefully after 2024-2026, these images of overcrowded local trains will become a thing of past.

5 star hotel coming up in Amritsar

No matter how many trains are added, peak time rush at some stations is going to be the same.

Ya'll Nibbiars this project is going on the slow pace and aready delayed by many years. Sad to see that USBRL is going so slow. It either time to change the contractor or review the projects.
How you came to conclusion that slow progress of USBRL Project is due to contractor and not because of institutional inefficiencies.
Reviewing the project now will only delay the project more.
It's just that theirs no accountability for Babu's. They come ,warm their chair for 2 year. Ministries does not ask them how much progress they made , does not sack them And by the way their promotion are time bound as long as they not taken some panga with seniors.
Now theirs is this kida of L1 and not taking account of complete picture.

Ya'll Nibbiars because USBRL has come under fire or similar delays and their method have also been questioned before. That's why.
