Lamington Road , officially Dr. Dadasaheb Bhadkamkar Marg , named after Lord Lamington , the Governor of Bombay between 1903 and 1907, is a busy thoroughfare near Grant Road station in South Mumbai . The official name of the road is rarely used. It is often called the "IT shop of Mumbai". ^[1]

Lamington Road is famous for its wholesale and retail market ^[2] in electronics goods. ^[3] Shops on the street sell computer goods, electronic items, television equipment, and wireless equipment at rates much lower than the maximum retail price as they have a high turnover. ^[4] They sell not only the latest computer related items but even outdated electronic parts for radios like transistors, capacitors, cables, sound cards, TV tuners and adaptors. ^[5] Lamington road is the third largest grey market in India for electronic goods and peripherals after Nehru Place in Delhi and Ritchie street in Chennai.

It had been listed as a notorious market between 2009 and 2013 by the USTR for selling counterfeit software, media and goods. ^{[6] [7] [8]}
