Powai Lake
From Free net encyclopedia
Powai Lake is a huge artificial lake in Bombay (Mumbai), India. The adjoining area is known as Powai. This is where Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay and National Institute of Industrial Engineering(NITIE) is located. Currently the problem of silting is troubling this once serene lake and work is going on to cure it of its hyacinth population.
The Powai area has grown tremendously in the past decade and it is presently a residential, commercial and retail hub for the eastern suburbs of Bombay. It is also the location for the Hiranandani Gardens township. The nearest Mumbai Suburban Railway station to reach Powai is Kanjurmarg. A local weekly newspaper PLANET POWAI regularly reports on the latest news and development of this lake.
The area is also famous for being the hub of the construction, engineering and manufacturing conglomerate Larsen & Toubro group of companies.
