Answer:
The Mumbai Port Trust also referred to as the Bombay Port Trust, and also called as GATEWAY OF INDIA is a port that is situated in the middle of India's west coast, on the naturally deep-water port of Mumbai (Bombay), in the state of Maharashtra.
Explanation:
For the Viceroys and the successive Governors of Bombay, the Gateway later served as a symbolic and formal entrance to India. It allowed people to go to and enter India. At the end of Chhatrapati Shivaji Marg in South Mumbai, the Gateway of India is situated on the waterfront overlooking the Arabian Sea in the Apollo Bunder neighborhood. The Mumbai Port Trust (MbPT, originally the Bombay Port Trust (BPT)), a sovereign business entity completely owned by the Indian government, is responsible for managing the port.
The reason it is known as the "Gateway to India" is presumably because it welcomes travelers as they approach Mumbai with an eager gaze.
George Wittet designed it, and it was constructed to honor the visit of King George V and Queen Mary.
Since it is 26 meters and 85 feet tall, this is the first building that sea passengers view rather than Mumbai City (back in the day, Britishers used to go by sea and this was the only taller building at that time). Therefore, it is called the "Gateway to India."
