City Mumbai

A sprawling metropolis on India’s west coast, Mumbai is the commercial and financial nerve centre of the country.
The quintessential cosmopolitan city, Mumbai is home to diverse ethnicities and religions and is one of the few Indian cities where you can find people from every state and region of the country.
Mumbai’s seaport handles more than half of India’s maritime cargo while its airport is the busiest in the country. It is a major manufacturing centre in the region and a prime destination for international imports and exports.
Mumbai is the richest city in India with a GDP of $209 billion. It contributes 60% of all custom duty collection, 20% of the central excise tax collection and 40% of foreign trade collections to the national economy. The city is a powerhouse of commerce, industry and entertainment.
