Get around the city with these convenient transport options.
Airport prepaid taxi
Prepaid taxi counters are inside the arrivals hall. The route is about 9-11 km; off-peak 25-45 min, peak 45-75 min. Keep the receipt and confirm the gate for NESCO.
App cab
Use the designated app-cab pickup zone at the airport. Fares move with demand, especially during show opening and closing hours. Confirm the vehicle number before boarding.
Auto-rickshaw
Autos are the cheapest last-mile option from Goregaon station. Insist on the meter or agree the fare before starting; carry small cash.
Suburban train
Fast and slow trains stop at Goregaon. Avoid 08:00-11:00 and 17:30-20:00 with luggage. From the station, take an auto for the final 2-4 km.
Metro plus auto
Metro Line 1 connects Versova, Andheri and Ghatkopar. Break the journey at Andheri or Western Express Highway and complete the trip by auto or short app cab.
BEST bus
BEST buses serve the Western Express Highway corridor and Goregaon East. Useful for budget travel, but slower during peak traffic and crowded with luggage.
Venue parking
Paid parking serves the halls. Opening morning fills quickly; exhibitor vehicle passes and material-handling access are separate from visitor parking.
Hotel shuttle or short cab
Some hotels run airport shuttles but not necessarily venue shuttles. Confirm at check-in; otherwise use an app cab for the 2-6 km hop.
Weather
April is pre-monsoon in Mumbai: hot, humid and mostly dry, with daytime temperatures around 33-35 C and nights around 24-27 C. Humidity often sits above 60%, and late April can bring short pre-monsoon showers. UV is high even under cloud. Carry water, use sunscreen and plan indoor midday breaks.
Plan for the climate
Check temperatures and pack accordingly
Venue connectivity
Mumbai has wide 4G and 5G coverage. Airtel, Jio and Vi sell prepaid tourist SIMs at the airport and in city stores; bring your passport and a photo. eSIM options are available from international carriers. India uses 230V at 50Hz with type C, D and M plugs, so pack a universal adapter. Venue Wi-Fi may be available but should not be relied on for live equipment demos; carry a mobile hotspot. WhatsApp is the default business messaging channel.

Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Language and greetings
English is widely used in Mumbai business settings, alongside Hindi and Marathi. A handshake is standard; use titles and surnames until invited to use first names.
Punctuality and traffic
Meetings usually start on time, but road traffic can delay arrivals. Build 30-45 min buffers for cross-city trips and confirm whether a meeting is at a site, office or the exhibition centre.
Business cards and follow-up
Exchange business cards with both hands or a slight nod. Follow up on WhatsApp or email within two days; PDF technical sheets are preferred over large attachments.
Dress code
Smart casual is acceptable for site visits and show floors; business formal for meetings with developers, EPC leadership or government bodies. April heat makes breathable cotton or linen practical.
Food and dietary needs
Vegetarian, vegan and Jain options are common. Confirm spice levels and dietary restrictions before ordering; business meals often include tea or coffee.
Payments and invoicing
The currency is the Indian rupee (INR). UPI is widely used, cards work in hotels and larger restaurants, and cash helps for autos and small vendors. Ask for a GST invoice for business purchases.
Tipping
Tipping is not mandatory. Restaurants often add a service charge; 5-10% is common if service is not included. Round up fares for drivers and porters.
Photography and site access
Ask before photographing stands, people or infrastructure sites. Some project sites and government facilities restrict photography; follow security instructions.
Public holidays
Check Maharashtra public holidays around your travel dates. Festivals such as Gudi Padwa, Eid and Ram Navami can affect traffic, staffing and shop hours.
