Thane is one of the most advanced Industrial districts of the country. It is a large metropolitan region with a multifaceted culture. The city is filled with all kinds of modern amenities and has a very good railway and road connection.

It is famous as the first ever Railway terminus of Asia and was connected to Mumbai through the first railway line of the country. During the British era, it was also the second major police check post from where it gets its name as Thane which literally means ‘Police Check Post’ in Marathi. 

With more than thirty lakes, the region is also called as the city of lakes after Udaipur. Due to its abundant fresh water reserves, Mumbai heavily depends on this district for its water supply. With a backdrop of Sahyadri hills and a lot of greenery, the place has a very pleasant weather throughout the year except the monsoons when it gets a very heavy rainfall.

The district is already very well developed & has many commercial hubs of its own like Kalyan, Ulhasnagar, Bhiwandi, Ambernath etc. It is also extensively connected to Mumbai through railways and roadways & provides a lesser cost of living.
