Konkan division, Administrative division in Maharashtra, India

The Konkan division extends along the western coast of Maharashtra, encompassing seven districts including Mumbai City, Mumbai Suburban, Raigad, Ratnagiri, Sindhudurg, Thane, and Palghar.

The region transformed from Bombay Presidency before 1947 to Bombay State until 1960, finally becoming part of Maharashtra with significant district boundary modifications through the years.

The population of 28.6 million people predominantly speaks Marathi, with Hindu temples and coastal traditions defining the regional identity across urban and rural areas.

Mumbai, the capital of this division, functions as a major transportation hub with extensive railway networks connecting all districts to the rest of Maharashtra.

The division produces substantial quantities of cashew nuts, mangoes, and coconuts while maintaining a 720-kilometer coastline along the Arabian Sea.
