General Information

The Consulate General seeks to promote U.S.-India relations and progress towards common goals through information outreach, dialogue and exchange in western and central India, including Mumbai and the states of Maharashtra, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, and Goa.

The Consulate General of the United States of American in Mumbai was located in the former Wankaner Palace, built in 1938 by the Maharaja of Wankaner, along the Breach Candy seaface.  Called Lincoln House, this building houses the officers of the Consul General, the Consulate's principal officer; the Consular Section, which offers services to American citizens in India and to Indians traveling to the United States; an economic and political section, and a management office. 

At a separate facility in the Churchgate district of Mumbai, the American Center building housed four additional Consulate offices: the Public Affairs Section, which promotes mutual understanding through its public outreach programs and exchanges; the U.S. and Foreign Commercial Service, which promotes U.S. exports and trade; the Food and Drug Administration, which promotes food and drug safety; and the Foreign Agricultural Service which represents the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Since November 2011, all sections of the U.S. Consulate General Mumbai are located at a new facility in Bandra Kurla Complex.
