This is the Bandra Kurla Complex in Mumbai. This area is being developed as an alternate to the Central Business District at Nariman Point in South Mumbai as it is getting too congested. Quite a few Corporates have shifted their offices here leading to a boom in real estate in this area which is actually reclaimed from the creek.

Vintage taxis

All these are vintage taxis (indigenised Fiats more than 25yrs old) waiting outside Lokmanya Tilak Railway Terminus at Kurla, to take arriving passengers to various destination in Mumbai. As per the new edict from the Government, most of these taxis will be scrapped as of 04Dec08. This may possibly be the last run for them. The drivers/owners have been promised assistance in getting new models to be operated as taxis in a move to reduce air pollution in the city.
