Mankurda is a locality in the eastern part of Mumbai, India. It is situated in the Chembur subdivision and is known for its residential areas and industrial presence. The area is divided into Mankurda West and Mankurda East, separated by the railway line. Mankurda West is predominantly a residential zone with a mix of housing societies and older settlements. Mankurda East, on the other hand, has historically housed a significant number of industrial units, though many have since closed down or relocated.

The locality is well-connected by road and rail. Mankurda railway station is a crucial transit point on the Harbour Line of the Mumbai Suburban Railway, serving thousands of commuters daily. The Eastern Express Highway, a major arterial road, runs close to Mankurda, facilitating road transport. This strategic location has contributed to its development as a mixed-use area.

Mankurda has faced challenges related to infrastructure and environmental concerns, particularly due to its proximity to industrial activities. However, efforts have been made over the years to improve living conditions and develop urban amenities. The area continues to be a part of Mumbai's vast urban sprawl, reflecting the city's dynamic growth and evolving landscape.
