Production houses in Mumbai anchor India’s entertainment industry from Film City Goregaon’s 520-acre, 16-stage government complex to Bandra’s Mehboob Studios and Andheri’s Yash Raj Studios, and the city is also India’s undisputed capital of advertising film production — not just Bollywood cinema.

Why Mumbai Is India’s Production Capital
Mumbai concentrates more film, TV, and advertising production infrastructure than any other Indian city. Beyond the Bollywood studios that dominate national headlines, Mumbai is home to India’s advertising-film industry, its largest OTT commissioning operations (JioStar, Netflix India, Amazon Prime Video India), and a dense network of post-production and VFX facilities. This article focuses specifically on Mumbai’s production landscape as distinct from India’s broader national market, covered separately in our top production houses in India directory.
Key Stat
Film City Goregaon spans 520 acres with 16 sound stages and 42 outdoor shooting locations — established in 1977 and still government-run by the Maharashtra Film, Stage & Cultural Development Corporation (MFSCDC).
Applause Entertainment exemplifies Mumbai’s premium OTT drama model, having produced 55+ titles for Netflix, JioHotstar, and Sony LIV since its 2018 launch. Maddock Films built a commercially dominant horror-comedy universe from its Mumbai base. Balaji Telefilms spans TV, film, and OTT (via ALTBalaji) with ₹453 crore in FY25 revenue.

Mumbai’s Studio Zones: Goregaon, Bandra & Andheri
Mumbai’s production infrastructure is spread across several distinct studio zones, each with a different ownership model and specialization.
Film City Goregaon remains Mumbai’s largest single production complex and the anchor of India’s government-run studio infrastructure. Yash Raj Studios offers India’s only fully soundproofed, air-conditioned studio complex with in-house post-production. Producers should note that R.K. Studios is no longer operational despite occasional outdated references online. For national context, see our top production houses in India directory.
How to Choose a Production House in Mumbai
Choosing the right production partner in Mumbai starts with understanding the difference between a production house (develops and produces its own content, retaining creative and/or financial ownership) and a production services company (executes another party’s production on location without a creative or financial stake). International producers evaluating Mumbai should weigh five factors: segment fit (film, TV, OTT drama, or advertising commercials each have distinct specialist houses), studio access given the finite number of fully-equipped complexes, facility booking lead time at high-demand facilities like Yash Raj Studios, single-window clearance eligibility for faster location permits, and streaming platform relationships given how much of Mumbai’s current commissioning flows through JioStar, Netflix, and Amazon Prime Video.
Maharashtra Incentives & Single-Window Clearance
Mumbai productions qualify under Maharashtra’s state-level incentive scheme, alongside a dedicated single-window permitting system built specifically to speed up shoots in the city.
Key Stat
Up to 30%
Maharashtra’s rebate covers up to 25% of eligible production expenses, plus a 5% bonus for Marathi-language or culturally significant films — 30% maximum, applicable to Mumbai productions under the state scheme.
Producers should note Maharashtra’s incentive structure is under active review as of 2026, with a state-appointed committee benchmarking current rates against other Indian states and international destinations. For the full national incentive picture, see our top production houses in India directory.
2026 Trends: OTT Commissioning & AI in Ad Production
OTT commissioning from Mumbai has scaled sharply. JioHotstar, formed via the 2025 merger of JioCinema and Disney+ Hotstar, now holds India’s largest content library, with its production arm Star Studio18 headquartered in Mumbai. Netflix’s 2025 India slate included 6 films, 13 series, and 5 unscripted titles, while Amazon Prime Video announced roughly 36-40 original titles for India in a single 2025 slate announcement — its largest single-country content commitment.
AI-assisted ad production is reshaping Mumbai’s commercial-film industry, with adoption reportedly compressing brief-to-broadcast timelines from months to days at some houses, alongside continued growth in vertical/short-form video and sustainability-driven production practices.
Mumbai majors are increasingly shooting internationally while remaining headquartered locally — Yash Raj Films’ three-picture UK deal, tied to the UK-India trade agreement and announced during PM Keir Starmer’s Mumbai visit, illustrates how the city’s biggest studios now combine a Mumbai home base with global production footprints.
