India, Feb. 5 -- The Maharashtra government has proposed to increase the height limit of high-rise buildings from 120 to 180 metres, a proposal that will require the consent of the BMC's Technical Committee.

Approximately 40 floors can be accommodated in a 120-metre high structure. If the 180-metre proposal goes through, around 50 to 60 floors can be built in a high-rise.

A notice issued on Tuesday by the state government's urban development department said, 'The Municipal Commissioner shall constitute a Technical Committee for high rise buildings to advise on issues related to high-rise building having height more than 180 metres or any building having slenderness ratio 9 or more irrespective of height of building...'
