Sona Udyog Industrial Estate is a long-established small-scale industrial/commercial premises complex located on Parsi Panchayat Road in Andheri East, Mumbai — right on the boundary with Jogeshwari East. It functions as a co-operative society housing numerous small manufacturing units, packaging companies, trading firms, and light-industrial businesses, spread across several buildings with individually numbered galas and units (e.g., “Bldg 1, Gala No. 7,” “Unit No. 30,” “B-209,” “C/2 & B/5,” etc.) — a common format for Mumbai’s older industrial estates that mix small-scale production with office/warehouse space.

Location
- Locality: Sits at the Andheri East / Jogeshwari East border, on Parsi Panchayat Road (also referenced via Old Nagardas Road).
- Sub-region: Part of Mumbai’s western suburbs, within the broader Andheri–SEEPZ–MIDC industrial corridor that runs along the Western Express Highway and Andheri-Kurla Road.
Area Type
- Mixed industrial-cum-commercial belt: The estate itself is a small-scale industrial/light-manufacturing premises complex, but it sits within a predominantly residential and commercial pocket of Andheri East/Jogeshwari East — surrounded by housing societies, local markets, and small businesses rather than a large dedicated industrial zone.
- This mixed character is typical of older, centrally located Mumbai industrial estates (as opposed to purpose-built MIDC industrial parks further out).
Nearby Landmarks
- Jogeshwari Caves — a historic rock-cut cave complex, a notable heritage landmark in the neighbouring Jogeshwari East area.
- Western Express Highway — a major arterial road passing close by, linking the area to the rest of Mumbai’s northern and southern suburbs.
- MIDC’s own headquarters (“Udyog Sarathi”) is located in Andheri East, underlining the area’s long industrial association.
Metro
- Nearest station: Andheri metro station (Blue Line 1), roughly 600 metres / about a 9-minute walk from Parsi Panchayat Road.
- Andheri metro station connects directly to Andheri railway station via a skywalk/foot-over-bridge link, making it convenient for combined rail–metro commutes.
- Other nearby stations on the same line include Western Express Highway and Gundavali (which also connects to the newer Red Line 7 running north–south).
Railway Station
- Nearest station: Andheri Railway Station, on the Western Line (and also served by Harbour Line trains) — roughly 600m–2km away depending on which part of the estate, generally a 9–25 minute walk.
- Andheri is a major suburban rail junction, giving strong connectivity both towards South Mumbai (via Western/Harbour lines) and towards the northern/eastern suburbs.
Airport
- Nearest airport: Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (Mumbai Airport) is only a few kilometres away, as Andheri East borders the airport precincts (the domestic terminal area and Airport Road are within the same general MIDC-Andheri industrial belt referenced above).
- This proximity is one of the estate’s most practical logistical advantages for businesses needing quick cargo or travel access.
Industries and Businesses
Based on registered company addresses and local directories, the estate hosts a mix of small and mid-sized enterprises, including:
- Packaging companies (e.g., a technopack/packaging manufacturer operates from the estate)
- Plastics manufacturing (a plastics-related business is listed at the location)
- General small-scale manufacturing, trading, and office units registered under numerous gala/unit numbers across the complex’s multiple blocks
A comprehensive public tenant directory isn’t readily available, but the estate’s structure (dozens of small numbered units across several buildings) indicates it primarily serves MSME-scale manufacturing, packaging, trading, and warehousing businesses rather than large industrial plants.
