Each series in a pie chart can have their own size. So, I stacked a bunch of pie series calculating their begin and end angles. You'll have to do a little clean up to get the tooltips displaying the value instead of 100, but I think it's a workable solution.
Note: The following code makes a bad assumption that the data points add to 100. void fixes that assumption in his fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/58zfb8gy/1.

$(function() {
var data = [{
name: 'Thane',
y: 25,
color: 'red'
}, {
name: 'Nagpur',
y: 15,
color: 'blue'
}, {
name: 'Pune',
y: 30,
color: 'purple'
}, {
name: 'Mumbai',
y: 30,
color: 'green'
}];
var start = -90;
var series = [];
for (var i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
var end = start + 360 * data[i].y / 100;
data[i].y = 100;
series.push({
type: 'pie',
size: 100 + 50 * i,
innerSize: 50,
startAngle: start,
endAngle: end,
data: [data[i]]
});
start = end;
};
$('#container').highcharts({
series: series
});
});
Another way I toyed with, that I didn't like as much, was having each series have invisible points:
series = [{
type: 'pie',
size: 100,
innerSize: 50,
data: [{y:25, color: 'red'}, {y:75, color:'rgba(0,0,0,0)'}]
},{
type: 'pie',
size: 150,
innerSize: 50,
data: [{y:25, color: 'rgba(0,0,0,0)'},{y:15, color: 'blue'}, {y:60, color:'rgba(0,0,0,0)'}]
}, ... ];
