About Mahalakshmi Race Course

Welcome to the Mahalakshmi Race Course, a historic racing venue in Mumbai operated by the Royal Western India Turf Club (RWITC). Known for hosting the Indian Derby on the first Sunday of February each year, this venue also serves as a vibrant public event space when racing isn’t in session. Whether you’re here for a major race, a concert, or a large public event, we’ve got you covered with practical seating details, transit options, and nearby hotel and dining recommendations to help you plan a smooth visit.

Located at Mahalaxmi Race Course, Keshavrao Khadye Marg, Mahalaxmi, Mumbai 400034, the grounds feature a 2,400-metre oval track and a mix of heritage grandstand, enclosure stands, and open seating. Capacity varies by event, with multiple tiers across covered stands and the Members’ enclosure (reserved) alongside the Public enclosure (open seating).

Note on planning: on-site parking is very limited. We encourage using public transit or rideshare services, with nearby paid parking options available. The venue is adjacent to Mahalaxmi Western Line railway station and is accessible from several Mumbai transit hubs.

For fans and attendees, Mahalaxmi Race Course remains active and adaptable. In addition to racing, the grounds have hosted festivals such as Lollapalooza India (2023–2025) and large-scale concerts (including Guns N’ Roses). Redevelopment plans as of early 2026 involve leasing portions of the site for a central public park while RWITC continues racing on the leased acres, preserving the heritage and ongoing sporting use of the space.

We’ve got you covered for a hassle-free visit—learn about seating options, transit, parking, and trusted hotel and dining partners nearby to make your experience seamless.
