Hello there,,,,well conventionally speaking 21 years would be the maximum height which you can achieve....however till 25 some growth in height may be achieved....it is important to understand that every individual is unique and some people are tall or short,bald or hairy,fair or dark skinned...the familial traits and gene pool has a lot of attributes in it.

your height is pretty normal for your age and is infact on the upper threshold for indian male.

Hi..... once you're done growing, that's pretty much it. Men grow height-wise until ~21 years old, although depending on the person they may experience slight changes until 25. For someone in their later twenties, you're already not producing the regul ar pulsatile bursts of growth hormone needed to stimulate longitudinal growth, but even if an exogenous source was provided, the growth region of the bone known as the epiphyseal plate has already shut down, so you'd only grow laterally...
