Everything about South Mumbai totally explained
South Mumbai (
Marathi:दक्षिण मुंबई), the southern-most precinct of the city of
Mumbai,
India, comprises the city's main business localities and its adjoining areas. It is the richest urban precinct in India, and houses most of the city's elite.
Geographically, South Mumbai lies at the southern corner of
Salsette Island. Although the
constituency of South Mumbai extends from
Bombay Central to
Colaba, most city residents use the term to refer to the southern areas of Mumbai (still others consider South Mumbai to extend as far north as
Mahim). The area is delimited on the east by
Mumbai harbour and on the west by the
Arabian Sea.
South Mumbai is home to the
Reserve Bank of India and the
Bombay Stock Exchange. Its primary business districts are the
Fort,
Nariman Point and the
Ballard Estate. Probably all the
consulates,
museums and old theatres are located in South Mumbai. Many leading Indian and multi-national companies are headquartered here. A few of the city's recognized schools are also located here.
In South Mumbai, all utility services necessary for smooth commercial trade - such as an uninterrupted supply of power - are available around the clock.
Although
land reclamation has allowed the southern-most tip of the district to double in size since the 1970s, the business districts face an acute shortfall of real estate. As a result, the real estate prices are among the top ten world-wide. In 1995 for instance, short-lease rates in
Nariman Point were pegged at 22608 US$/m² (2100 US$/ft²) per year. In 2006 the rates stands at approximately 4300 US$/sq ft. As a ratio to average
per capita income, real estate prices in the business districts remain the most expensive in the world.
South Mumbai is also the home to several of the city's sporting grounds, including
Brabourne Stadium,
Wankhede Stadium,
Cooperage,
Azad Maidan and
Oval Maidan.
