This is the shiny new Air Traffic Control (ATC) tower at the Mumbai airport and is the tallest of India.
It's as tall as a 30-storey building, nearly 84 metres and is being touted as Mumbai's latest landmark.
It has been built at the cost of nearly 100 crore rupees, the project missed its earlier deadline of July 2013 because of delays in procuring and installing a special kind of glass on the tower. On 18th October 2013, It was inaugurated by Civil Aviation Minister Ajit Singh and Maharashtra Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan.
It offers an uninterrupted clear view of the runways and the operational area. Spread over a 2,800 square metre area, it is equipped with the latest technology, including electronic flight strips which will lessen the workload of the controllers, increase safety and overall capacity at the airport.

The ATC was designed by Hong Kong-based architectural firm HOK and international engineering designer ARUP - selected after a global competition and Spiers & Majors have designed its lighting to bring out the sculptural qualities.
