IIT
Bombay is located at Powai, which is an eastern
suburb in the North-Eastern part of Mumbai.
Mumbai is in the form of a long narrow island,
almost a peninsula, thrusting south wards into
the Arabian Sea. It can be broadly divided into
four zones.
South Bombay (Colaba, CST,Fort, Chruchgate, Nariman
Point etc.)
Central Bombay (Dadar, Bombay Central, Worli etc)
The Western suburbs (Bandra, Juhu, Andheri, Borivali
etc)
The Eastern Suburbs(Kurla, Chembur, Ghatkopar,
Mulund, Kanjur Marg, Vikhroli etc.)
There is also New Bombay (Vashi, Turbhe etc.)
across Thane Creek on the mainland.
Public Transport
Mumbai has one of the most efficient and reliable
public transport network. One can travel by Autorickshaws
/ Taxis to reach IIT from the nearest stations(Autorickshaws,
however do not go further south than Sion and
Bandra). For longer distance, you can use either
the BEST Bus Network or the Mumbai Local train
System.
Suburban Railway Transport
Those coming by Central Railway Suburban train
will have to get down at Kanjur Marg, Vikhroli
or Ghatkopar which are the nearest stations from
IITB. If you are coming by the Western Railway
Suburban train you will have to get down at Andheri,
Bandra, Goregoan or Malad. We give below the
Road Network to reach IITB along with the approximate
Bus/ Autorickshaws/ Taxi fare. (Click here to

Stations for Through Trains Coming

Central Railway CST, Dadar, Kurla, Thane.
Western Railway Mumbai Central, Dadar, Bandra,
Andheri,Borivali, Kurla
There is a terminus at Kurla where some Central
as well as Western Railway Trains terminate.
There is no convenient bus route from Kurla terminus.
An autorickshaw is the best option. However it
would be more economical to take a suburban train
from kurla to Kanjur Marg and then take an Auto.
AIR PORTS
International flights land at Sahar Airport which
is about 7 kms from IIT. The Domestic Airport-
SantaCruz is about 10 kms. Pre paid taxis are available
at the Airports. Autorickshaws are also available
for IIT.
