On 9 November 2026, BedR's listing pages showed 434 boys PGs in Mumbai with a readable advertised starting price, and the middle (median) starting price was ₹10,000 a month. The cheapest zones were Navi Mumbai (median ₹8,000) and Thane (median ₹8,250). The Western suburbs, where nearly half the listings are, had a median of ₹12,000, and South Mumbai and the island city had a median of ₹14,000. These are the lowest "from" prices advertised per property, usually for a shared bed. They are not what residents actually pay, and they do not tell you a bed is free today.

This guide is for men looking for a boys-only PG in Mumbai: students, interns, people starting their first job and anyone moving to the city for work. It breaks BedR's boys PG listings down by zone and by locality, explains what the starting prices cover and what they leave out, and lists the house rules, food, deposit and commute questions to settle before you pay anything. If you are looking for women-only options, read our girls PG in Mumbai guide.

How to read this table: each figure is the lowest advertised monthly starting price on one BedR boys PG listing page, extracted on 9 November 2026 between 14:52 and 15:05 IST. Zone medians are medians of those per-property starting prices. They are not rents paid, not single-room rents and not citywide market rents, and a listing in the data does not mean a bed is available. Room or sharing type is not stated in the data, so a starting price may be for a shared bed in one property and a room in another.

1. How we built these numbers

BedR's sitemap on 9 November 2026 had 451 boys PG listing addresses under the Mumbai section. We opened every one of these pages at a slow rate and read the price data that each page publishes for search engines (its "from" price per month, map pin and locality label).

Included (434): pages that loaded, were labelled "Boys PG", had a monthly starting price between ₹3,000 and ₹1,00,000, and had a map pin inside the Mumbai region.
Kept separate (12): listings labelled "Boys Hostel". They are boys-only too, but hostels can price differently, so they are not in the PG medians. Their starting prices ran from ₹7,000 to ₹42,500.
Excluded (5): one page with no price, two with prices outside the sanity band (₹1,500 and ₹2,500), and two whose map pin was missing or outside the region.

We grouped localities into zones using a fixed list (Andheri, Santacruz, Vile Parle, Malad and Goregaon in the Western suburbs; Kurla, Ghatkopar, Powai and Chembur in the Central and eastern suburbs; Airoli to Panvel in Navi Mumbai, and so on). Medians are shown only where at least 10 listings fall in a group. The full evidence table and method sit with this article's editorial record.

Two things these numbers cannot tell you: whether a bed is free right now, and whether the "from" price is for a two-, three- or four-sharing room. Ask the operator both before you plan around a price.

2. Boys PG prices by zone and locality

The zone medians hide big differences between neighbouring localities. The table below covers every locality with at least 10 boys PG listings on 9 November 2026.

Locality	Zone	Listings	Median starting price	Lowest to highest
Airoli	Navi Mumbai	24	₹7,500	₹6,000 to ₹10,000
Nerul	Navi Mumbai	10	₹7,500	₹6,000 to ₹9,000
Thane West	Thane	17	₹8,000	₹5,000 to ₹12,500
Kurla	Central and eastern	25	₹9,000	₹8,000 to ₹30,000
Malad East	Western	14	₹9,250	₹7,000 to ₹15,000
Ghansoli	Navi Mumbai	18	₹10,000	₹6,000 to ₹10,000
Ghatkopar East	Central and eastern	11	₹10,000	₹9,000 to ₹10,000
Powai	Central and eastern	14	₹10,500	₹8,000 to ₹17,000
Andheri West	Western	34	₹10,750	₹5,500 to ₹20,000
Goregaon West	Western	10	₹11,250	₹6,500 to ₹17,000
Ghatkopar West	Central and eastern	13	₹12,000	₹9,000 to ₹20,000
Malad West	Western	17	₹12,000	₹7,500 to ₹22,000
Andheri East	Western	68	₹13,000	₹7,000 to ₹30,000
Santacruz East	Western	21	₹13,000	₹10,000 to ₹20,000
Chembur	Central and eastern	10	₹18,000	₹6,000 to ₹23,000
Vile Parle West	Western	12	₹35,000	₹10,000 to ₹70,000

These are medians of the lowest advertised price per property on BedR on 9 November 2026, not rents paid, not single-room rents and not market averages. Localities with fewer than 10 listings are left out of this table.

What stands out

Andheri East is the biggest boys PG market in the data, with 68 of the 434 listings (about one in six). Its median of ₹13,000 is above the city median, which fits a locality close to offices around the airport, Marol and the SEEPZ area.
Vile Parle West is an outlier. Ten of its 12 listings started at ₹16,000 or more, and several advertised ranges going up to ₹45,000 or beyond. These look like private or premium rooms rather than shared beds, so do not treat ₹35,000 as the price of a bed in Vile Parle.
Chembur's median (₹18,000) rests on just 10 listings and a few high starting prices. One Chembur listing started at ₹6,000, so ask what each price covers.
Navi Mumbai's spread is narrow. 82 of its 86 listings started below ₹12,000.

3. Where to look: boys PGs zone by zone

Western suburbs (210 listings, median ₹12,000)

Andheri East, Andheri West, Santacruz East, Malad and Goregaon account for most of the Western suburb listings. The Western line runs north–south through all of them, and three metro lines serve this belt: the Blue Line (Line 1) from Versova through Andheri to Ghatkopar, and Lines 2A and 7, which run north towards Dahisar along Link Road and the Western Express Highway (Mumbai Metro).

Choose this zone if you work or study between Bandra and Goregaon, or near the airport and Marol. Expect to pay more than in the eastern suburbs: 119 of the 210 Western listings started at ₹12,000 or more. Malad East (median ₹9,250) and Andheri West (₹10,750) were the cheaper large pockets in this zone. For a closer look at the biggest locality, read our PG in Andheri East guide.

Central and eastern suburbs (96 listings, median ₹10,000)

This zone covers Kurla, Ghatkopar, Vikhroli, Kanjurmarg, Bhandup, Mulund, Powai and Chembur. Kurla is the largest group (25 listings, median ₹9,000) and sits on both the Central and Harbour lines, close to BKC. Ghatkopar connects the Central line with metro Line 1 to Andheri. Powai (median ₹10,500) suits people working in Powai's offices, but it has no suburban railway station of its own, so check the bus or auto time to Kanjurmarg, Vikhroli or Ghatkopar.

Most listings in this zone (59 of 96) started between ₹8,000 and ₹11,999. Our PG in Kurla guide covers the Kurla data in more detail.

Navi Mumbai (86 listings, median ₹8,000)

Airoli (24), Ghansoli (18), Nerul (17 across Nerul and Nerul East), Kopar Khairane, Rabale and Vashi make up most of this zone. Thirty-nine of the 86 listings started below ₹8,000, the most of any zone. The Trans-Harbour line links Thane with Airoli, Ghansoli and Vashi and on to Nerul and Panvel, and the Harbour line links Vashi and Nerul with Kurla and CSMT (Mumbai Suburban Railway).

Navi Mumbai works best if your office or college is in Navi Mumbai itself, such as the offices around Airoli and Ghansoli. For a daily trip into Andheri or South Mumbai, the lower PG price can be eaten up by travel time. See our PG in Airoli guide for station-by-station detail.

Thane (19 listings, median ₹8,250)

Seventeen of the 19 Thane listings were in Thane West, with a median of ₹8,000 and nothing above ₹12,500. Thane station is on the Central line and is also where the Trans-Harbour line to Navi Mumbai starts. It suits people working in Thane, Mulund or the Airoli belt. With only 19 listings, choice is narrower than in Andheri or Kurla. Our PG in Thane guide covers the wider Thane area.

South Mumbai and island city (19 listings, median ₹14,000)

Fort, Kalbadevi, Tardeo, Worli, Byculla, Dadar, Mahim, Sion and Antop Hill had 19 boys PG listings in total, and seven of them started at ₹16,000 or more. Most localities here had only one to four listings, so the median rests on a thin base. Look here if your college, hospital or office is in the island city and a short commute matters more than the price.

Mira-Bhayandar and Vasai-Virar (4 listings)

Only four listings fell in this belt, starting at ₹8,000 to ₹12,000. That is too few for a median, and it is a long Western line trip from most workplaces in Mumbai.

4. What the starting price includes, and what it does not

A "from ₹10,000" listing tells you the lowest price that property advertises. Before you compare two PGs, get these points in writing:

Question	Why it matters
Is this price for 2-, 3- or 4-sharing, or a single room?	The data does not say. 333 of the 434 listings advertised a price range, not a single price, so the same PG can cost much more for fewer roommates.
Are meals included? How many a day?	None of the listings could tag meals. Nearly half (45%) tagged an "in-house kitchen", which may only mean a kitchen you can use.
Is electricity included, or billed separately?	Separate bills, especially with AC, can change your monthly total.
Are Wi-Fi, housekeeping and laundry in the rent?	54% tagged Wi-Fi and 45% tagged AC, but tags are chosen by the operator, and many only list building features.
How much is the deposit, and when is it returned?	Deposit terms vary by operator; get them in the agreement.
What is the notice period?	It affects how much you lose if you move out early.

5. House rules in boys PGs: what to ask

Boys PGs in Mumbai set their own house rules, and the rules vary from one operator to the next. There is no single citywide rulebook, so the safest approach is to ask and get the answers in writing.

Entry timings and late nights

Many PGs close the main gate at night or expect residents to be back by a set time. If you work late shifts, study late or travel home on weekends, ask:

Is there a gate closing time, and is it the same on weekends?
Can you enter after that time with notice, and who lets you in?
Is there a fine or warning system for late entry?

Visitors and overnight guests

Some boys PGs allow visitors only in a common area or only at certain hours. Many do not allow overnight guests. Ask whether female visitors are allowed and where, and whether family can visit or stay.

Smoking, alcohol and noise

Ask whether smoking or alcohol is banned anywhere in the building. In a shared room, also agree on lights-out, calls and music with your roommates early.

Cooking and food

If meals are not included, check whether residents can use the kitchen, whether non-vegetarian food is allowed, and whether there is a fridge you can share. If meals are included, ask for the weekly menu and the meal times, and check whether they fit your office or college hours.

6. Commute: matching the zone to your work or college

Choose the zone by where you need to be most days, then compare prices inside that zone. Price differences between zones matter less than an extra hour on a crowded train every day.

If you go daily to	Zones to start with	Main rail or metro links
Andheri, airport, Marol, SEEPZ	Western suburbs (Andheri East and West, Santacruz East, Vile Parle)	Western line; metro Line 1; Line 3 (Aqua Line)
Goregaon, Malad, Mindspace	Western suburbs (Malad, Goregaon)	Western line; metro Lines 2A and 7
BKC, Kurla, Kalina	Kurla, Santacruz East, Ghatkopar	Central and Harbour lines; metro Line 3 for BKC
Powai, Vikhroli, Kanjurmarg	Powai, Ghatkopar, Vikhroli	Central line plus road links
Airoli, Ghansoli, Vashi, Belapur	Navi Mumbai, Thane West	Trans-Harbour and Harbour lines
Thane, Mulund	Thane West, Mulund	Central line
Fort, Churchgate, Lower Parel	South Mumbai and island city, Dadar	Western, Central and Harbour lines; Line 3

Line 3 (the Aqua Line) is now fully open and links the island city with BKC and the airport area, according to the Mumbai Metro overview. Check the nearest station and a real peak-hour trip before you book any PG.

7. Agreement, police tenant information and deposit

Police tenant information

The rules depend on which police commissionerate covers the address:

Mumbai (Brihanmumbai): the Mumbai Police tenant information page says a police NOC is not required to rent out a flat or house. Rental details can be given to the police online, at the local police station or by registered post. The online service covers only the Brihanmumbai Police Commissionerate, and the OTP goes to the owner's phone, so the owner or operator usually submits it.
Navi Mumbai: the Navi Mumbai Police website has a tenant information form that it describes as a mandatory tenant verification submission.
Thane: Thane has its own police commissionerate. Ask the operator how they share tenant details with the local police station.

In each case, give the operator your ID, ask them to confirm the submission, and keep a copy for yourself.

The agreement

Section 55 of the Maharashtra Rent Control Act, 1999 says that leave and licence agreements and lettings made after the Act came into force must be in writing and registered, and puts the responsibility for registering them on the landlord. The Maharashtra Stamps and Registration Department offers online registration of leave and licence agreements. How a PG documents a single bed differs between operators, so ask what you will sign, who registers it and whether you will get a copy. This is general information, not legal advice.

Deposit

Get the deposit amount, the deductions the operator can make and the refund timeline written into the agreement or receipt. Pay by a traceable method and keep every receipt. Take dated photos of your bed, cupboard and room when you move in.

8. Checklist before you pay

Confirm the price is for your room type and sharing level, in writing.
Ask whether meals, electricity, Wi-Fi and housekeeping are included.
Get the gate timing, visitor and guest rules, smoking and alcohol rules in writing.
Visit in person if you can, at the time of day you would normally come home.
Check water supply, washroom count per resident, ventilation and your lockable storage.
Do a real peak-hour trip from the PG to your office or college.
Confirm the deposit, notice period and refund timeline.
Ask how the operator will share your details with the police and what agreement you will sign.
Pay only through traceable methods and keep receipts.

9. Boys PG or another option?

A boys PG suits you if you want a furnished bed, simple monthly payments and possibly meals, and do not mind house rules. If you want more freedom over guests and cooking, sharing a flat with friends may suit you better, though you take on the deposit, furniture and bills yourself. Hostels are a third option: 12 of the boys listings on BedR on 9 November 2026 were labelled hostels, with starting prices from ₹7,000 to ₹42,500.
