The Andhra Pradesh Industrial Infrastructure Corporation Tower, or the APIIC Tower is a skyscraper under construction[citation needed] in Hyderabad, India. It will consist of more than one hundred storeys, at a height of 450 m [1] . This tower is to be part of a 100 acre business district in the Manchirevula suburb of Hyderabad.[2] The tower will house corporates, hotels and other establishments. Upon construction, it will be by far the tallest building in India.
The bustling city had previously faced problems with the construction of highrises due to lack of space and fire safety concerns in its congested downtown. The state government has set up this special trade development project, which has a minimum building construction limit of 30 floors to address this problem and promote the city as the business hub of south India.
Along with the supertall trade tower, another 10-12 highrises of 30 floors or more are proposed to be built in this business district [3].Reliance Energy won the contract to construct this Rs 6400 crore (Rs 64 billion) project [4] and construction commenced on 23rd July,2007 with a predicted completion date of 2010 for the tower and 2012 for the entire township.
