Bori Bunder (also known as Bori Bandar) is an area along the Eastern shore line of Mumbai, India.

Background[edit]

This place was used as a storehouse for goods imported and exported from Mumbai. In the local language, 'Bori' mean sack and 'Bandar' means port. It could also be a corruption of 'Bhandaar' meaning store.^{[citation needed]}

Transport[edit]

In the 1850s, the Great Indian Peninsula Railway built its railway terminus in this area and the station took its name as Bori Bunder.^[2]
