Not surprised. Nor it will change in future as authorities are going to put cap on height of buildings in India due to proximity to airports being built all over. So average height of skyscraper is going to decline only.
South Bangalore can still afford 300+ because it is located good distance away from any major airport.

Trust me there is a certain height that once it reaches that height, it is not really economical anymore.

Exactly. Building one floor ugly flat tops is not an efficient use of space nor building sky high buildings. Building such tall sky scrapers means more electricity is needed for the lifts to function. Getting water to the top floor also requires lot of energy as well. And maintaining those buildings especially window cleaning is not for the faint of heart.

Skyscrapers also isolate people. When you are in such tall buildings moving up and down even with lifts is a pain. Studies have shown that Skyscrapers do not encourage human interaction. There is a sweet spot something like 20-30 floor building built on a wide base which is far more efficient and can accommodate right amount of people in smaller area without congestion. We should avoid building Skyscrapers like China who have simply built as a sign of modernity without any thought how they can sustain them over a decades.

So they have a 5 star hotel, premium office space, retail mall, educational institutions but no space for a swimming pool, Tennis courts, Basket ball courts? I doubt they have a gym in that society. Does it have a super market in there?
Even normal residential complexes in the area have these, its a given
