Greater Bombay was never officially an area, but the name probably became popular due to the Municipal Body being called 'Municipal Corporation of Greater Bombay'.
India has the concepts of Districts as the subdivision of states, and the Mumbai Region falls under two districts of Mumbai City & Mumbai Suburbs. The closest corresponding region would probably be the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mumbai_Metropolitan_Region) But it covers multiple districts, cities and Municipalities.
