March 1996 is the right answer.
In the year 1995 when Shiv Sena; a regional political party came into power, it changed the name of the state from Bombay to Mumbai. The main reason behind this was that the Shiv Sena regarded Bombay as a legacy of the colonial empire of Great Britain and thus wanted to change the name of the state; to reveal its Maratha heritage henceforth renaming it to give tribute to Mumbadevi a goddess. This state has become a part of the ongoing wave of changing the name of the cities given by the British or the colonial government.
