Plan your trip

Choose from the following airports, with convenient access to the event and venue.
Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International
to venue
by car
A range of accommodation options near the venue and across key areas.
Hotel The Lalit Mumbai
The venue itself; booking here removes daily transfers. Confirm whether the delegate rate includes breakfast and whether GST applies at the applicable hotel slab.
The Leela Mumbai
Full-service option with airport proximity and business facilities; rates peak during city-wide event weeks.
Hyatt Regency Mumbai
Very close to the terminals and the venue; a convenient choice if you are arriving late and leaving early.
Midscale business hotels, Marol and MIDC
Several branded three and four-star properties cluster here; expect a short app-cab ride rather than a walk.
Budget and limited-service hotels, Vile Parle
Cheapest practical base with reasonable stock; verify recent reviews, power backup and airport pickup before booking.
Serviced apartments, Powai and Bandra-Kurla Complex
Useful for longer stays or small teams; the trade-off is a longer daily commute to Sahar during rush hour.
Get around the city with these convenient transport options.
metro
Useful when road traffic is heavy; check the walking or cab connection from the nearest station to Hotel The Lalit. Confirm current fares and service hours on the operator site.
suburban_rail
The fastest way into South Mumbai during peak hours, but avoid the crush of rush-hour services with luggage. Buy a ticket at the counter or use the UTS app.
taxi
Off-peak this is a 10-20 minute ride; surge pricing applies during rain and late evenings. Use the designated app-cab pickup zone at arrivals.
prepaid_taxi
Fixed-fare prepaid coupons are sold inside the arrivals hall; keep the coupon for the driver and confirm the hotel name spelling before setting off.
auto_rickshaw
Good for the last mile from a metro or rail station; agree the fare first or insist on the meter, and avoid carrying large luggage.
taxi
Plan 60-90 minutes in peak traffic. The suburban train is usually faster for this corridor if you are travelling light.
parking
Venue parking is limited during large conferences. Confirm valet availability and rates with Hotel The Lalit before driving in.
taxi
Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International (BOM) is the main commercial gateway serving Mumbai; allow 45-60 min by road or rail to Hotel The Lalit.
Weather
November is post-monsoon in Mumbai: expect warm, humid days with highs typically around 32-33 C and nights around 21-24 C. Rain is uncommon but not impossible as the northeast monsoon tails off, so a compact umbrella is sensible. Indoor halls are heavily air-conditioned, so a light layer helps during long sessions. These are climatological bands, not a forecast - check a local forecast 48 hours before travel.
Plan for the climate
Check temperatures and pack accordingly
Venue connectivity
Mumbai has broad 4G coverage and growing 5G availability from Airtel and Jio, and hotel Wi-Fi is standard at business properties in the Sahar and Andheri East cluster. Foreign delegates can buy a local prepaid SIM with passport and photo, or use an eSIM data plan activated before arrival. Power is 230V at 50Hz with Type C and Type D sockets, so most European plugs fit but UK, US and Australian plugs need an adapter. UPI is accepted almost everywhere for cabs, food and retail, and international cards work at hotels and larger outlets.
Ride-hailing
Taxis
Public transit
Car rentals
Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Business greeting
A handshake is common in Mumbai corporate settings; a joined-palms namaste is also appropriate. Use titles and surnames until invited otherwise, and offer and receive business cards with the right hand.
Dress and formality
Business formals or smart business casual are expected at a delegate conference. Mumbai is hot and humid outdoors and cold indoors, so a light jacket or shawl is practical rather than decorative.
Punctuality and scheduling
Sessions usually start on time, but road traffic makes arrivals unpredictable. Build 30-45 minutes of buffer for any transfer across Andheri East during peak hours.
Language
Business conversations are normally conducted in English. Hindi and Marathi are widely spoken locally; a few words of Hindi are appreciated but not required.
Payments and tipping
UPI and cards are accepted at hotels, restaurants and app cabs. Tipping is not mandatory; rounding up or 10% at full-service restaurants is normal. Keep small notes for porters and auto-rickshaw fares.
Food and hospitality
Vegetarian, Jain and halal options are widely available, and business meals are common. Alcohol is served in licensed hotels and restaurants but is not expected at every business dinner.
Invoicing norms
Indian companies expect GST-compliant invoices with a GSTIN. Ask for yours at delegate registration if your employer needs to claim input credit.
Practical guides
Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
Destination: BOM
Book into Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (BOM) for the shortest transfer to the venue. Check whether your ticket uses Terminal 1 (domestic) or Terminal 2 (international and part of domestic) because the two are separate complexes. Domestic fares on trunk routes such as Delhi and Bengaluru move fast, so booking four to eight weeks out usually helps. International delegates should arrive a day early and allow 3-4 hours before departure for immigration and security on the return leg. Airfares are not published by the organiser and vary by season - confirm live prices with your carrier or agent.
Foreign nationals entering India must hold a valid passport and either a visa issued by an Indian Mission/Post or an eVisa (limited categories) from the Bureau of Immigration, Ministry of Home Affairs. Passport validity of at least six months from arrival and two blank pages are commonly cited requirements; confirm your nationality's category on the official portal.
Processing: Varies by nationality; apply several weeks before travel.
Apply through the official India Visa Online portal or an Indian Mission/Post; third-party visa services also list passport validity and photo requirements. Verify current business-visa rules for your nationality before booking travel.
OfficialGet to the venue and around the city with these options.
Airport → venue: Primary gateways: Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International (BOM). Allow road or rail time to Hotel The Lalit; on-site parking is usually available at major exhibition venues.
Hotel → venue: Precinct hotels near Hotel The Lalit: Sahar, Andheri East: Hotel The Lalit Mumbai; Andheri East, near the airport: The Leela Mumbai; Sahar, Andheri East: Hyatt Regency Mumbai.
Ride-hail: Ola and Uber are the standard app-cab options in Mumbai, with Rapido for two-wheeler and auto-rickshaw rides. Set your pickup point to the hotel lobby or the venue gate rather than a road name, because the Sahar area has service roads that confuse drivers. At BOM Terminal 2 use the marked app-cab pickup zone on the arrivals level. Link a card or UPI before your first ride; cash is still accepted but exact change helps. Expect surge pricing during rain and late evenings.
Public transit: Mumbai Metro Line 3 (Aqua Line) serves the airport corridor and links towards Andheri and Bandra-Kurla Complex, which is useful when the roads are gridlocked; check the nearest station and the last-mile walk or auto connection to Hotel The Lalit. Western Railway suburban services from Vile Parle and Andheri are the fastest route to Churchgate and Mumbai Central, with separate first-class coaches. BEST buses run along the Andheri-Kurla and Sahar roads. Fares are low, but avoid peak-hour trains with luggage.
Parking: Hotel The Lalit has on-site guest and event parking with valet service, but capacity is limited during large conferences, so arrive early or use a chauffeured drop-off. Commercial car parks in the Sahar and Andheri East belt typically charge by the day. Confirm current valet rates and whether conference delegates get validated parking directly with the hotel before you drive in, and note that roadside parking around the airport district is restricted.
Plan and pack for the event climate.
Month: November (post-monsoon)
Temperature: Daytime highs typically around 32-33 C, nights around 21-24 C
Seasonality: November sits at the tail of the northeast monsoon: humidity stays moderate to high and rain is uncommon but possible in short spells. This is a climatological band, not a forecast.
Packing: Pack light cotton or lightweight wool business wear, one layer for heavily air-conditioned conference halls, a compact umbrella for short showers, comfortable formal shoes for long days on concrete floors, and a reusable water bottle. Add sunscreen and sunglasses for daytime movement between venues.
Plan your trip
Best day to visit: Day 2 (mid-show)
Mid-show days at India NBFC Summit & Awards 2026 usually combine full exhibitor attendance with scheduled B2B meetings, before early pack-down on the final day.
Confirm your delegate registration is paid and the confirmation email carries the correct name, company and designation.
Ask the organiser for a GST invoice with your GSTIN for the INR 10,000 plus 18% GST delegate fee.
Book a hotel in Sahar, Marol or Andheri East so the venue is a 5-15 minute ride away.
Reserve flights into BOM and add a buffer day if you are arriving from another time zone.
Complete your Indian e-Visa application or verify your existing visa at least 10 days before departure.
Download Ola and Uber, link a UPI or card payment method, and save your hotel address offline.
Open indianbfcsummit.com/schedule and shortlist the sessions that match your finance, compliance or growth priorities.
Prepare a 30-second introduction and a target list of 8-10 organisations or solution categories to meet.
Draft three questions you want answered by vendors or speakers so conversations stay specific.
Pack business formals, one light layer for air-conditioned halls, and an umbrella for short showers.
Carry a Type C or Type D plug adapter, a 230V-rated charger and a power bank for long days.
Plan your departure with 2-3 hours buffer for domestic and 3-4 hours for international flights from BOM.
