South Mumbai (Colaba, Worli, Lower Parel) is a different market: PG beds there often start around ₹17,000 to ₹20,000 and premium rooms go well above ₹30,000. Professionally managed PGs across the city usually charge about ₹10,500 to ₹22,500 for two sharing and ₹13,500 to ₹26,000 for a private room.
How much is a double sharing PG in Mumbai?
Two to a room is the most common choice. Expect roughly:
- ₹10,000 to ₹14,000 in Navi Mumbai, Vikhroli and Ghatkopar.
- ₹12,000 to ₹16,000 in Kurla, Malad and Dadar.
- ₹15,000 to ₹22,000 in Andheri, Powai or a managed PG with AC.
Triple sharing is usually ₹2,000 to ₹4,000 cheaper per person than double sharing in the same building, and is the most realistic way to stay under ₹10,000 in the suburbs.
What PG rent in Mumbai usually includes
This varies from one PG to the next, so ask before you pay:
- Meals: many PGs include breakfast and dinner; some offer a lower rent without food.
- Electricity: often billed separately, especially for AC rooms, sometimes split among roommates by sub-meter.
- Wi-Fi, housekeeping and laundry: common in managed PGs, not guaranteed elsewhere.
- AC: AC rooms cost more, and the power bill for AC is often extra.
Deposit and notice period
Deposits vary: owner-run PGs may ask for one to two months' rent, while managed PGs usually take about one month. A notice period of around 30 days is common, and some operators charge an exit fee if you leave within a year. Get the deposit amount, refund timeline and notice period in writing.
How to pick the right area
In Mumbai the commute matters more than the rent. Pick a PG on the same rail line as your office, close to the station, and check the journey at your actual travel time.
- Western line jobs (Andheri, Goregaon, Malad): Malad and Goregaon cost less than Andheri. See PGs in Goregaon.
- Central line and BKC jobs: Kurla, Ghatkopar and Vikhroli offer better value.
- Powai and IIT Bombay: see hostels and PGs near IIT Bombay.
- Tight budget: Navi Mumbai has the lowest rents, if your office is there or the commute works.
If you need a place for just a few weeks while you look around, hostels in Mumbai are easier than PGs, most of which expect a stay of about three months.
Before you pay anything
- Visit the PG and see the actual room, bathroom and kitchen.
- Meet the owner or manager, and ask whether they own or manage the property.
- Confirm the rent, deposit, notice period and what is included, in writing.
- Ask how electricity is billed.
- Ask the owner whether tenant police verification has been done.
- Never pay a token or deposit before seeing the place.
