Mumbai is a shopping paradise. Whether you're looking for luxury buys or budget deals, you'll find it all in this shopping haven. If you're shopping at small shops or bazaars, remember to bargain. At the modern shops, prices aren't negotiable but you'll be treated to a range of designer goods.
The commercial areas in Mumbai are:

- Bandra: Packed with trendy boutiques with the latest fashion and accessories
Super and Hypermarkets
There are a number of supermakets in India but the retail environment is not as advanced as in most parts of Europe. Hence, most big retail outlets like Carrefour etc are not present. In its place, a number of smaller supermarkets abound in various parts of the city. Some of the more popular supermarkets in the city are below.- Cash n Carry Supermarket:
