Our Verdict

 

Mumbai is not for beginners, period. If Delhi tests your planning, Mumbai tests your patience, cash flow, and sanity.

Footfall? Insane. Probably the best in the country. Offices, stations, hospitals, corporate parks — people are always moving, always hungry, always in a rush. Sounds perfect, right? Yeah… until you see the rent numbers. Mumbai doesn’t negotiate. Ever.

 

In Mumbai, location beats everything. A bad spot will kill even the best machine. But a good one? It can recover your investment faster than you expect. That’s the tradeoff. High risk, high reward. No middle ground here.

 

Another reality check: space is tight. Getting permission, squeezing machines into lobbies, dealing with building managers — it’s half business, half diplomacy. And if your machine breaks or runs empty during peak hours, users won’t wait. They’ll walk 10 steps and buy elsewhere.

 

So yeah, Mumbai works — but only for operators who think long-term. Strong cash buffer, reliable servicing, premium placements. This isn’t a “try and see” city. Get it right, and Mumbai pays. Get it wrong, and it bleeds you slowly.
