Fazilka TV Tower

Fazilka TV Tower is a steel lattice broadcasting structure that rises over 300 meters above the surrounding landscape. The tower was built as a transmission facility and serves as a distinctive landmark visible across the plains of Punjab.

Construction of the tower took place between 1996 and 2007, marking a major investment in broadcasting infrastructure for the Punjab region. The project emerged to address growing demand for television coverage and communication services across northern India.

The tower functions as a central broadcasting point for Doordarshan channels, delivering television content to communities within a 100-kilometer radius of Fazilka.

The tower is located near Fazilka Railway Station and the main bus stand, making it easily accessible by public transport. The best time to visit is early morning or late afternoon when you can photograph or view it without intense sunlight.

The tower ranks among the tallest self-supporting structures in the world, making it a remarkable engineering feat of its era. Its slender form makes it visually striking despite its enormous height when viewed from different angles across the landscape.
