Mumbai is no longer called that. Manchester was called cottonopolis because it was the home of textile mills in England. Mumbai due to its high humidity was ideal for setting up cotton textile mills and at one time there were 130 textile mills in Bombay. ... Why Mumbai is the wealthiest city in India?
