Introduction
Mumbai Suburban District, nestled in the western Indian state of Maharashtra, is a vibrant and densely populated region that forms a crucial part of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region. Administratively, it falls under the Konkan Division and was officially declared an independent district on October 1, 1990. This bifurcation separated Greater Mumbai into two distinct revenue districts: Mumbai City and Mumbai Suburban. Prior to this, the suburban region was part of the Mumbai City District.
