I reckon it's still Bombay, in English. People who use Mumbai should

A guy from India (Bharat...I didn't know this one) I work with says
that most of the locals still call it Bombay.
Indeed. And the Times of India runs articles in which both words appear
in the same piece. Same with Kolkata/Calcutta.
