Aarey Milk Colony is within Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP).[2][3] It is classified as mixed moist deciduous type forest.[4][5] It acts as a buffer between SGNP and the city, being one of the few green spaces (spread over 2000 acres) left in Mumbai.[6] On 3 September 2020, the Maharashtra government declared one fifth of the Aarey Colony, an area of approximately 600 acres, as a reserved forest.[7]
The Colony is a neighbourhood situated in Goregaon (East), a suburb of the city of Mumbai, India. It was established in 1949 to revolutionize the processing and marketing of dairy products in the city.
