FROM MUMBAI: POWAI, SUBURB OF MUMBAI
We bet that a visit to Powai, situated in the suburban neighbourhood of Mumbai will be a pleasant revelation. By its sheer planning, landscaping and cleanliness, Powai township offers itself as a pretty getaway in Mumbai. Once here, take a leisurely stroll around the Powai Lake. Leading brands have stand-alone outlets here and so are the quaint eateries serving world cuisine. You can also visit the popular campus of thinking minds at the The Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay, established in 1958 and currently the second oldest campus of the Indian Institutes of Technology. The National Institute of Industrial Engineering, established in 1963 is also located here. Many expats have made the peaceful Powai their homes in Mumbai. It is a popular film location too.
FILMY STATUS: Kalyug, Ghajini, Slumdog Millionaire and many other films were shot here.
CONNECTIVITY: The Jogeshwari-Vikhroli Link Road passes through Powai. The domestic airport is located 5 kms away. While there is no local train station in Powai per say, the nearest one is in Kanjurmarg and Vikhroli. Originally a central village, Powai has grown exponentially in recent years to become one of Mumbai’s upmarket commercial and beautifully-planned residential hubs.
