INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW 

OF THE CITY 

Mumbai, formerly known as Bombay, is India’s commercial 

capital. This city, which is alongside the Arabian Sea, was once 

a cluster of seven islands - Mahim, Colaba, Smaller Colaba, 

Parel, Mazagoan, Worli and Matunga. The original inhabitants were the 

Kolis, or the fisher folk, who worshipped the goddess Mumbadevi. They built 

a shrine for the goddess on the largest of the seven islands and the name 

Mumbai was born, from which Bombay was derived by the British. Now, the 

seven islands have retained their names only as districts of the city. 

Historically, Hindu dynasties ruled Bombay till 1348 AD. In 1534 AD the 

islands were ceded to the Portuguese by the Sultan of Gujarat in a treaty. In 

May 1662, it was handed over to Charles II of England as part of the dowry 

for the Portuguese Princess Catherine Braganza, following their marriage that 

same year. In 1665, the British Government took possession of the islands 

and leased them out to the East India Company in 1668 for an annual rent of 

£10 in gold. The East India Company was primarily responsible for the land 

reclamation and unification of the seven islands. Thus, over a period of 250 

years, Bombay was transformed from a neglected group of islands to a major 

Indian port. 


DESTINATION MUMBAI Introduction and Overview of the City 

Today, Mumbai is the capital of Maharashtra and is the most cosmopolitan 

of all the Indian cities. It is sometimes referred to as the New York of the 

India because of its skyscrapers and glamour and the pace of its urban life. 

Mumbai’s most famed landmark is the Gateway of India which was built in 

1911 to honour King George V on his arrival to India. 

Over the last century, Mumbai has become the economic powerhouse of 

India and has the biggest sea-port in the country. Fifteen per cent of the total 

organized workforce of India is based in Mumbai. The population has grown 

in leaps and bounds and today is close to 18 million. Mumbai is the manufacturing 

centre for chemicals, tyres, petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, plastics, 

rubber goods, autos and engineering goods. The movie industry in Mumbai is 

famous for the number of films it churns out each year and is a constant source 

of entertainment in India and abroad. 

To be in Mumbai is to fall in love with the city’s mix of traditions and 

cultures. The city’s cosmopolitan outlook incorporates many different festivals 

which are celebrated as if it were a miniature India. Mumbai is an active city, 

alive and full of interest and for many people, their introduction to India. 

It has its Beverly Hills, its Bronx, its super rich and abject poor, Victorian 

monuments and Buddhist relics, gleaming highrises and cardboard shanty 

towns. Mumbai is, in other words, a paradise and a paradox.

THE PEOPLE OF MUMBAI 


The people of Mumbai are rooted in their tradition and culture, 

though outwardly westernization can be glimpsed in all facets of 

life. While music, dance and the performing arts are cherished and 

nurtured in this city, the people here equally enjoy fast food and a night out at 

the local discotheques. 

Families in the “middle class” place a huge value on good education and 

careers and most homes will have at least a couple of members holding either 

a medical, law or an accounting degree. English is understood and spoken 

by most people in this class. Exposure to western culture is very high and 

many families have children and other relatives settled overseas and visit them 

occasionally. 

People here are warm and welcoming, even to strangers. Many have found 

that residents of Mumbai go out of their way to help newcomers get around 

and get to know their city. Religion is inexorably intertwined into everyday 

life, no matter which faith people practice. Superstitions and myths guide 

many activities and even find their way into work life. Learn to work your 

way around “inauspicious times” and “bad days” as the people of Mumbai 



8 

The People of Mumbai 

will attribute a lot of value to auspicious times and days before they embark 

upon anything constructive – be it a new job or a new business. Almanacs 

are frequently consulted for all important occasions such as setting dates for 

weddings and naming babies, ground breaking before construction, house 

warmings, inaugurations of offices and factories and much more. 

Traditionally, the attire of ‘Mumbaikars’ (as they are locally known) is the 

salwar kameez which is harem-style pants teamed with a long top and a scarf 

(dupatta). The men wear a kurta, a loose, collarless shirt and pyjama, loose 

drawstring pants. 

At the workplace, formal wear is largely the norm. Women continue to 

wear Indian garments – either the sari or the salwar kameez. Younger women 

are increasingly opting for western formal office wear. Men are invariably in 

formal trousers, shirts, ties and a jacket or even business suits. 

You will find most women heavily dressed up for evenings out and formal 

occasions – the women of Mumbai love displaying their beautiful silk and 

brocade saris, designer salwar kameez sets and their jewellery! 


BECOMING A TENANT 


Real estate practices and tenancy laws in India are quite different 

from international norms. We would advise you to use our expertise 

to help you find the ideal home in India, negotiate the complex 

clauses of the lease agreement and help you move in. Property owners tend 

to list their homes with multiple brokers, usually with no formal agreements 

whatsoever and prospective tenants have very little control over negotiations 

unless they are represented by well known realty service providers. Selecting 

your home and working out the rental agreements are the most crucial decisions 

that you will be making in your early days in India, and we are here to 

help you ensure that you find the best home and have a hassle-free move in. 

Most cities typically have expatriate housing zones and Mumbai is no different. 

The popular expatriate areas are Bandra, Colaba, Cuff Parade, Nariman 

Point, Worli, Khar, Powai, Juhu, Juhu Vile Parle Scheme and Andheri. Juhu 

and Worli sea face are particularly attractive as they are nearer to the ocean; 

Bandra – Kurla and Khar are also attractive as they are close to the international 

schools and away from the congestion of the city. We can help you look 

up these districts on the city map and work out the travel times to your office, 



the airport and train stations, the business district, entertainment, medical and 

shopping facilities and schools. 

As your Destination Service providers, we have on our listings some of 

the best properties that Mumbai has to offer for expatriate style living and 

we ensure that you get a fair deal on the terms and conditions in your lease 

agreements. 

For first time renters in India, here is some information that will come in 

handy during your property viewing visits and negotiations: 

Rent 

Depending on the landlord, rents may be paid in advance or after your stay 

and the rent due date is determined during lease negotiations. Rents are negotiable, 

as are the escalation clauses – the average annual escalation is somewhere 

between 10-15% of the base rent. 

Deposit 

Deposits are normally set at 10-12 months’ rent in advance. This deposit 

is fully refundable after deduction of damages (if any) and without interest at 

the end of the lease term. Deposits are paid when the lease is signed and may 

run into hundred thousands of rupees. Mumbai landlords are open to receiving 

higher deposits and a lower rent. 

Lease termination notice 

Typically three months’ notice must be given to terminate a lease. This 

clause forms a part of the lease agreement. 

Maintenance costs 

10 

Becoming a Tenant 

Maintenance costs vary according to the property. An apartment will typically 

have a monthly maintenance charge to cover upkeep of the common 

areas as well as security. Maintenance of installed durables (air-conditioners 

and generators) is negotiated during the lease agreement discussions. 


Becoming a Tenant 

Appointments to view 


All viewing appointments are arranged through our office. Based on your 

schedule and preferences, we will book appointments and our Destination 

Services executives will accompany you for all property viewings and 

subsequent negotiations. 

Service fee 

Global Adjustments charges a service fee once you approve of the property 

and the lease papers are drawn up. Our service fee terms and conditions will be 

explained to you by our executive prior to setting up your viewing schedules. 



GETTING TO KNOW THE UTILITIES 

AROUND YOUR HOME IN MUMBAI 

Living in Mumbai is a unique experience – you come across something 

new each day! Consider this a wonderful learning experience, be 

patient about things which you cannot figure out and keep your 

sense of humour handy for things that you cannot change! These are failsafe 

formulas for a happy and peaceful stay here. Mumbai will teach you 

acceptance and tolerance, qualities that our ancient religions have instilled in 

us for centuries. 

Here are some important facts that you will need to know when living in 

Mumbai: 

Water 

The city gets most of its water supply from various sources through pipelines 

which fill the sumps (underground tanks) in homes. The water is then 

pumped into overhead tanks. In apartments, the maintenance staff ensures 

that the pumps are run everyday to give you uninterrupted water supply. In 

villa style homes, the occupants need to ensure that the pumps (commonly 

referred to here as “motors”) are kept running and are serviced regularly. Your 


DESTINATION MUMBAI Getting to Know the Utilities Around Your Home in Mumbai 

staff – the maid, security guard or gardener – can be trained to run the motors 

every day. 

If you wish to chlorinate your water you can use locally available bleach 

liquids and pour some in the sump every day. 

Some homes will also have a second source of water – ‘bore wells’ or ground 

water. This is usually used for the garden and for the bathrooms as the water 

may not be fit for drinking (due to its dissolved mineral or salt content). 

Ground water is also pumped up to overhead tanks by motors. 

Drinking water 

Please do not drink water straight from the tap or anywhere else unless 

it has been boiled or chemically treated. We encourage you to buy branded 

bottled or packaged water which comes in clear plastic dispensers of varying 

sizes. 

Packaged drinking water is safe and we recommend going for a reputed 

international brand. Supplies of drinking water are available in all convenience 

stores as well as large grocery outlets. 

Cooking gas 

The medium of cooking here is usually liquefied petroleum gas. Piped 

gas supply has recently been introduced in the suburbs in Mumbai. Cooking 

gas comes in cylinders which are hooked up to your stove top. There are 

government and private suppliers of cooking gas and you will need to set up 

an account with them by paying a deposit. Government suppliers may have 

longer waiting lines than the private suppliers, who are likely to provide you 

with an immediate connection and supply. 

Waste disposal 

Although recycling is not commonly practiced in Mumbai, we encourage 

you to separate your wet trash from the dry trash and keep aside all newspapers, 

plastic, glass and tins to be sent away for recycling. There are many shops 

in the neighborhood that will take your daily papers, cans, bottles and other 

14 


Getting to Know the Utilities Around Your Home in Mumbai 


recyclables for a price. They come home to collect it or you can have your 

maid/driver take it across to the shop. 

Wet trash is to be bagged and disposed of in the bins that are kept in 

the yard in apartment complexes. If you live in a villa, please have your maid 

dispose of the bags at the nearest bin on your street. Trash collection is the responsibility 

of the city, and this is done regularly by trash vans. Garden refuse 

can be recycled as organic manure for your plants and shrubs. 

Electricity 

Electricity supply is generally reliable in Mumbai, except during the monsoons 

when power cuts are frequent. Power surges, on the other hand, are 

common. Before plugging in any sensitive electrical equipment such as a laptop 

or PC, you should consider investing in a voltage stabilizer or UPS. 

You can have uninterrupted power supply by installing invertors or generators 

in your home to kick in during a power outage. While negotiating your 

lease agreement, we recommend that you ask the property owner to provide 

for this. 

Telephone/internet connectivity 

Telephone and internet services are provided in Mumbai by the state 

government owned MTNL, Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited, and 

many private service providers. It is usually a little faster to get connectivity 

from private service providers. Often, telephone and broadband internet 

connectivity are bundled together to give you a better deal. 

Breakdowns around your home 

Electrical appliances are liable to be affected as a result of the electricity 

supply’s fluctuations in voltage. This risk may be minimized by installing a 

stabilizer in your residence, either centrally or for each sensitive appliance, 

depending on your needs. Plumbing, carpentry and masonry maintenance 

work may also be required around your home occasionally. You may check out 

the local Yellow Pages for service providers in your neighborhood. 



Keeping the bugs away 

16 

Getting to Know the Utilities Around Your Home in Mumbai 

If you live in a villa style home with a garden, we recommend that you 

get the garden sprayed for mosquitoes on a regular basis and ensure that your 

household staff do not leave stagnant water anywhere as this is a breeding 

ground for them. Have your windows fitted out with nylon netting which 

allows you to keep your windows open while keeping the bugs out. The most 

popular brand of netting, Netlon, is easy to fix and maintain and comes in two 

options – fixed and removable. You may look for the nearest service provider 

for Netlon fittings in your local Yellow pages. 

Roaches, flies and ants are common because of the climate in Mumbai. 

Roach bait and ant bait discs are very effective – it is advisable to bring a 

considerable supply of this in your cargo. Local sprays are also available, which 

work quite well. We recommend you enter into an annual contract with a pest 

control service so that a service is done prior to your moving in and repeated 

every four months. Contact us for pest control service providers. 

Rodents can be another problem if your kitchen and garden areas are not 

kept clean of garbage. Ensure that none of your trash cans is left open or any 

garbage strewn in the garden area. Wipe down all kitchen surfaces thoroughly 

after cooking and keep all drains clean by pouring bleach or a drain cleaner 

frequently into them. We also recommend that you shut your kitchen windows 

at night. 


PLACES OF INTEREST 

- MUST SEE AND MUST DO! 


Mumbai is a beautiful city filled with ancient monuments and 

places of leisure, while excursions out of Mumbai allow you to 

explore historical places, hill stations, and beaches. Mumbai is 

literally the gateway to India and a perfect hub for exploring India. 

To help you plan your sightseeing and your weekend getaways, here are a 

few must-sees and must-dos: 

In Mumbai: 

Gateway of India 

George Wittet drew inspiration from 16th century Gujarati architecture 

in the construction of this masterpiece. The monumental archway was designed 

to welcome George V and Queen Mary to India in 1911. It is located 

on the Apollo Bunder Pier with access to the 6th century Elephanta caves and 

other cruises. 

Prince of Wales Museum 

The Prince of Wales Museum was styled after Indo-Saracenic architecture, 

also by George Wittet. The yellow and blue basalt structure is flanked by colorful 

greenery and houses a unique collection of artifacts. 



Jehangir Art Gallery 

To complement the historic artifacts found in the museum adjacent, Jehangir 

Art Gallery is the place where today’s Indian artists display their art. If 

you cannot find the artists in the gallery, check the Samovar Coffee Terrace, 

where the view of the museum gardens is picture perfect. 

Mantralaya 

The Mantralaya, located on Madame Cama Road, is an administrative 

building that houses the members of the Maharashtra State Government. 

More modern in its architectural structure, it is official in its appearance as 

well as function. 

Fashion Street 

This bazaar, located on M G Road, sells inexpensive export surplus 

cotton fabric and readymade clothes. Since these are seconds, there may be 

minor quality defects that a buyer should keep an eye out for. Bargaining is 

expected. 

Rajabai Clock Tower 

Inspired by Giotto’s Campanile of the Florence Cathedral, The Rajabai 

Clock Tower at Mumbai University was planned by George Gilbert Scott and 

completed in 1870. It previously played ‘Rule Britannia,’ ‘God Save the King,’ 

‘Handel’s Symphony’ and sixteen other tunes, but now has a regular chime on 

the quarter hour. 

Flora Fountain 

Also known as Hutatma Chowk, the fountain boasts carvings of roman 

mythology, pinnacled with the spring goddess, Flora. It commemorates Sir 

Bartle Frere, under whose governance Mumbai’s public buildings expanded 

rapidly, and is appropriately centrally located today. 

Marine Drive 

18 

Places of Interest - Must See and Must Do! 

From sunrise to sunset, this highly frequented thoroughfare is considered 

Mumbai’s crowning glory, and has been dubbed the ‘Queen’s Necklace’ as a re- 




sult. The streetlights provide a breathtaking view by night and by horse-drawn 

rides (Victoria gaadi’s) or hovercrafts alike, it exhibits a magnificent scene. 

Nehru Centre 

This embodiment of Nehru’s vision for India’s rise from agriculture to 

modern industry was designed by I M Kadri. It houses the ‘Discovery of India 

Exposition,’ which tells India’s story from prehistoric times to Indian Independence 

in 1947 through replicas of art and architecture in photographs, 

dioramas and audio-visual installations. 

Nehru Planetarium 

In 1977, late Prime Minister Indira Gandhi dedicated this planetarium, 

located on Dr. Annie Besant Road, to her father, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. 

Designed with children in mind, it has highly rated education programmes 

and includes a computer lab, mobile science exhibitions, an inflatable dome 

planetarium and a science library. 

Mahalaxmi Race Course 

The site of the annual Indian Derby, with seasons starting in November 

and culminating in February, this oval racing ground was constructed by Major 

J E Hughes. A posh restaurant located within the grounds, Gallops, styled 

after British colonial palaces, serves a mélange of Indian and Western cuisines. 

Races take place on the grounds through April. 

Victoria Terminus 

CST (Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus), or the Victoria terminus, is among 

the finest railway stations in the world. Designed by F W Stevens, it was a 

location of 17th century Portuguese criminal hangings. The animals and birds 

carved on the dome represent progress, shrouding its dark past in lively suburban 

beauty. 

J J School of Art and Architecture 

Named after its founder, Sir Jamsetjee Jeejabhoy, in 1857, the Sir J.J. School 

of Art is the most prestigious school of art in India. Rudyard Kipling was born 


DESTINATION MUMBAI Places of Interest - Must See and Must Do! 

on its campus, and his father, Lockwood Kipling, was a principal of the school. 

His house still stands in the campus garden. 

Crawford Market (Mahatma Jyotiba Phule Market) 

Opposite the Mumbai Police Headquarters, Crawford Market (named for 

Arthur Crawford) is a mix of Norman and Gothic architecture. Renamed 

after Mahatma Joytirao Phule, it was the first Indian building to be lit by electricity. 

Mumbai’s largest market covers 22,471sqm and holds produce, meat, 

hardware, bamboo ware, and imported food items. 

Hanging Gardens 

The Pheroz Mehta Gardens on B G Kher Road span the slope of the 

Malabar Hill, earning them the nickname ‘Hanging Gardens.’ Built in 1880 

over reservoirs that supply 30 million gallons of potable water to Mumbai, 

the gardens are a popular location for early morning and late evening walks 

among residents. 

Kamala Nehru Park 

Opposite the Hanging Gardens, a children’s park built in 1952 is playground 

to children of all ages. From the park, named after Pundit Jawaharlal 

Nehru’s wife, a scenic view of Marine drive may be seen. Outside the park 

there are abundant snack and refreshment stands. 

Mani Bhavan 

The Father of the Nation, Mahatma Gandhi, once resided in Mani Bhavan. 

It has been converted into a museum with dioramas, books, letters and other 

personal articles that give us a peephole into the scenes of Gandhi’s life. 

Banganga 

Of great mythological significance, Banganga achieved its name when 

Lord Rama shot an arrow into the ground ushering Bhagirati, a tributary of 

the Ganges, to provide his army with water. The site of the oldest settlement 

in Mumbai (Shilahari dynasty (c.800-1240), Banganga now houses several 

temples, hermitages and gymkhana. 

20 



Chowpatty Beach 


Chowpatty, or ‘four channels’, is at the foot of the Malabar Hill on Marine 

Drive. The Ganesh festival in September and the boat festival at the end of the 

monsoon are among many religious ceremonies that take place on the beach, 

making it a site of great importance to Mumbai. 

Chor Bazaar 

Literally ‘Thieves’ Market’, was originally named ‘Shor’ or noisy Bazaar, 

an apt name for this house of bargains. Many second-hand household goods 

including furniture and miscellaneous trinkets from the four corners of the 

earth are marketed by generations of traders at this market. 

Kalbadevi 

This predominantly Muslim area is a network of small corridors and 

laundry-draped houses where you can purchase stationery (Abdul Rehman 

Street), fabrics, (Mangalda Market), jewelry (Zaveri Bazaar) and other household 

goods (Bhuleshwar Road and Lohar Chawl). Also there are the Jamma 

Masjid and Mumbadevi (patron goddess of Mumbai) Temple. 

Excursions out of Mumbai: 

Elephanta Caves: 

Named by the Portuguese for the large stone Elephant near the shore, 

Gharapuri, as it was previously known, is a site that no art historian should 

miss. It was created between 450 and 750 C.E. and houses beautiful carvings 

and etchings as well as a nonpareil view of the Mumbai harbour. 

Shrewardhan Harihareshwar 

These golden beaches span 170 km running parallel to the Mumbai-Goa 

highway. There are many tours of the beaches, and tourist offices have information 

on accommodation for those who wish a quiet vacation on the sandy 

shores. 


Murud-Janjira 

The gate-keeper village of Murud is best known for being the oasis point 

before embarking on a journey to the island fortress of Janjira. The cannons 

along its bastions were to protect the palatial residences and mansions of the 

Siddis. It may be reached by road or boat from Mumbai. 

Vajreshwari Warm Springs 

There are 21 therapeutic sulphur springs found in a 2km radius around a 

temple dedicated to the mother goddess, Vajreshwari Mata. The ride to the 

temple by bus is typically an hour in duration. 

Marve and Manori Beaches 

Marve is a relatively quiet village about 50 kms north of Mumbai where, 

unlike Juhu beach, vendors are not pervasive. Manori beach is accessible from 

Marve by ferry boat, and private cottages are available for rent. Around the 

fishing village there is an old Portuguese church and a cashew grove. 

Ganapatipule 


If you are aquatically-inclined and want to get away from the city, Ganapatipule 

is the best destination. Wind-surfers frequent the beaches, and for a 

rough ‘n’ tough time, you can camp out in the MTDC tents. Resorts and other 

accommodation are also available. The Ganesh temple at the location is very 

famous.

GETTING AROUND 

AND OUT OF MUMBAI 


Getting around Mumbai is easy – several options are available, from 

public transport, auto rickshaws, trains to private taxis and rental 

cars. For the uninitiated, we would not recommend public transport 

as most routes are crowded and travel times long. Though the city has no designated 

walking zones, some explore-worthy areas are best done on foot as any 

other means of transport will not allow you to enjoy the sights, sounds and the 

smells of this marvellous city! 

Call-a-taxi services 

Contact any of the following taxi companies at least two hours prior to 

your departure time. State the desired pick-up time and provide them with 

your address and destination. Payments are usually by cash.

of a valid international driving license which is at least three years old and 

free of any endorsements. A security deposit will be taken and payment is via 

credit cards or cash.

Buses 

Mumbai’s red double-decker buses are one of the best ways to travel short 

distances in the city (except the rush hours). Fares generally cost only a few 

rupees and are paid to the conductor once you are on board. The challenge 

with bus travel is figuring out where the buses go since the route maps sold 

at news stands are not always reader-friendly. It is best to inquire at the bus 

station. Somebody will always be able to help you. 

Autorickshaws and Taxis 

Three-wheeler transport is available only in the suburbs (northwards if 

Bandra). Auto-rickshaws have outdated meters that have not been reacalibrated 

in a long time, but the drivers carry a tariff chart with the current fares. 

After midnight the fare is 25% extra. 

Black and yellow metered taxis as well as newly introduced blue air 

conditioned metered taxis are available. Autorickshaws are not allowed in 

the central area of the city. This means there are no auto-rickshaws between 

Colaba and Mahim in the west and Colaba and Sion in the east. 

Railways 

46 


The Indian railways are the virtual lifeline of the country, catering to both 

freight and passenger traffic on a gigantic scale. It is Asia’s largest and the 

world’s second largest railway system under a single management. 




Mumbai has a suburban rail system that connects the suburbs with the 

city and stations in between. The trains provide transport for the hundreds of 

thousand of commuters that travel throughout Mumbai everyday. The trains 

are fast and cheap but they are extremely overcrowded and are not often used 

by expats. 

If you have to travel more than 25 kms from one end of the city to the 

other, and are willing to brave it, the local train is an option. You can take a 

first class ticket and travel in the first class coach marked with green stripes. 

For ladies, coaches are available in second class, as well as first class. Please 

beware of pickpockets in trains.
