Tardev or Tardev Road

Tardeo or Tardeo Road is a popular residential and commercial locality of South Mumbai and its official name is Pandit Madan Mohan Malviya Road which is hardly known.
Tardeo is one of the most important arterial road of the city of Mumbai which leads suburban traffic further south to the heart of city's business district and it stretches right from Haji_Ali in the north to "Nana Chowk" in the south. The area falls under the 'D-Ward' of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation ( civic body of Mumbai) and has its own postal code of 400 034 with its very own post-office at Tulsiwadi. It lies just 15 km from the "Chatrapati Shivaji International Airport and just 1 km from Mumbai Central station. It is well connected by public transport such as buses, trains and cabs services.
Tardeo is home to Mumbai's primary Regional Transport Office (RTO) which conducts driving tests and issues driving licenses to the citizens of Mumbai. It also has important commercial offices located in the AC Market Building and the Film Centre Building both on the Tardeo Road.
In 1999, Tardeo and the city of Mumbai witnessed the opening of the first ever fully-fledged shopping mall called Crossroads converted from an old pharmaceutical plant belonging to 'Roche'. More and more land is acquired in this part of the city to turn old mills and dilapidated structures into swanky new residential towers. The most striking among them are the two 60-storey Imperial by far the tallest in India. Such extensive addition to the already over-populated area puts tremendous pressure on the civic amenities being provided by Brihanmumbai Muncipal Corporation.India's tollest multistores building 60floor devloped in Tardeo in 2007 which is twin tower
