GKW Colony in Bhandup, Mumbai, has a history that is closely tied to the industrial and residential development of the area. The colony is named after the GKW Limited company, which was involved in manufacturing and industrial activities in Bhandup. Historically, Bhandup was known for its natural beauty, with lush greenery, lakes, and agricultural lands. However, with the growth of industries and urbanization in Mumbai, areas like Bhandup witnessed significant changes. GKW Colony emerged as a residential locality primarily catering to employees and workers of the GKW Limited company, which was engaged in engineering, steel, and related industries. The development of GKW Colony paralleled the industrial expansion in Bhandup, with the establishment of housing facilities, amenities, and infrastructure to support the growing population of workers and their families.
