₹7,000 – ₹25,000per month
Mumbai's local train network is the lifeline of the city. For the Western Line, look for PGs in Andheri, Borivali, or Dadar — all within walking distance of stations. Central Line hostels cluster around Thane, Mulund, and Kurla. Harbour Line connects CST to Belapur, making Vashi and Nerul in Navi Mumbai convenient. Most hostel listings mention walking distance to the nearest station.
Mumbai has some of India's highest real estate prices, and those costs flow directly into PG and hostel rents. Space is at a premium — rooms are typically smaller than in Pune or Bangalore for the same price. A ₹12,000 room in Mumbai may be comparable in size to a ₹7,000 room in Hyderabad. The trade-off is unmatched career opportunities, networking, and the local train infrastructure.
Yes, Navi Mumbai is a fast-growing alternative to central Mumbai for IT professionals. Kharghar, Vashi, and Belapur along the Harbour Line have several well-maintained PG options at ₹8,000–₹15,000/month — significantly cheaper than Andheri or Powai. TCS, Cognizant, and several BPOs have large offices here. The Navi Mumbai Metro is also expanding, improving intra-city connectivity.
