Technically yes but the city is most commonly referred to as Bombay. I was recently in airports all over India and while the signs referring to the city are Mumbai, announcements for flights use Bombay. Conversationally, any locals I spoke with accept Mumbai but will say Bombay.

I think a Apple store in Mumbai...would do good there,
The upper middle class indian in India can definatley afford Apple products and with that kinda population base.
The Indian middle class is huge market bigger than the Canadian and US market...300 million, no wonder everyone else have their eyes toward India.
Everything is now available there Mercs, BMW which are made there, the latest cell phones (better than Canadian and US models) the cell phone rates are cheaper cause of the population.
Not suprised if Apple is finaly opening a store in Delhi and Mumbai....
Nice to know another Desi into Macs not many out there...so what kinda Mac you got..
I noticed you Macified your in Markham, I myself am in Scarborough.....
yea i'm from Markham too. lol right by scarlem actually. i just go to university in Ottawa. i just upgraded to a quicksilver 733 really nice machine. can be upgraded to a dual 1.8 Ghz... but i would only do that to a powermac with a 166 Mhz bus and faster memory.
As for the Macs I have - PowerBook, iBook, an old iMac. Would like to add a new Mini but am waiting for true windows support (I have a couple of hold-out, Windows only apps) so that I can get rid of an old PC. Been a Mac guy for years since a brief (couple years) stint with Apple Canada back in the IIfx days.

If your referring to pics from my trip you can get some highlights at mswebb.phanfare.com/album/44959. I have started posting in the photography thread in "Everything Else" but could easily overload that forum. This was my second trip (first was in 2004) and I've had the pleasure of taking part in both Diwali and Holi.
More to come but I'll drop them in the Everything Else Forum since we are now way off the original track...
