Mumbai (English: /mʊmˈbaɪ/ (listen), Marathi: [ˈmumbəi]; also known as Bombay /bɒmˈbeɪ/— the official name until
1995) is the capital city of the Indian state of Maharashtra and the de facto financial centre of India.
According to the United Nations, as of 2018, Mumbai is the second-most populous city in India after Delhi and
the eighth-most populous city in the world with a population of roughly 20 million (2 crore).[18] As per the
Indian government population census of 2011, Mumbai was the most populous city in India with an estimated city
proper population of 12.5 million (1.25 crore) living under the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation.[19] Mumbai
is the centre of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, the sixth most populous metropolitan area in the world with a
population of over 23 million (2.3 crore).[20] Mumbai lies on the Konkan coast on the west coast of India and
has a deep natural harbour. In 2008, Mumbai was named an alpha world city.[21][22] It has the highest number of
millionaires and billionaires among all cities in India.[23][24]
The seven islands that constitute Mumbai were earlier home to communities of Marathi language speaking Koli
people.[25][26][27] For centuries, the seven islands of Bombay were under the control of successive indigenous
rulers before being ceded to the Portuguese Empire, and subsequently to the East India Company in 1661, through
the dowry of Catherine Braganza when she was married off to Charles II of England.[28] During the mid-18th
century, Bombay was reshaped by the Hornby Vellard project,[29] which undertook reclamation of the area between
the seven islands from the sea.[30] Along with construction of major roads and railways, the reclamation
project, completed in 1845, transformed Bombay into a major seaport on the Arabian Sea. Bombay in the 19th
century was characterised by economic and educational development. During the early 20th century it became a
strong base for the Indian independence movement. Upon India's independence in 1947 the city was incorporated
into Bombay State. In 1960, following the Samyukta Maharashtra Movement, a new state of Maharashtra was created
with Bombay as the capital.[31]
Mumbai is the financial, commercial,[32] and the entertainment capital of India. It is also one of the world's
top ten centres of commerce in terms of global financial flow,[33] generating 6.16% of India's GDP,[34] and
accounting for 25% of industrial output, 70% of maritime trade in India (Mumbai Port Trust and JNPT),[35] and
70% of capital transactions to India's economy.[36][37] Mumbai has the eighth-highest number of billionaires of
any city in the world,[38] and Mumbai's billionaires had the highest average wealth of any city in the world in
2008.[39][40] The city houses important financial institutions and the corporate headquarters of numerous Indian
companies and multinational corporations. It is also home to some of India's premier scientific and nuclear
institutes. The city is also home to Bollywood and Marathi cinema industries. Mumbai's business opportunities
attract migrants from all over India.
