Maharashtra's newest district, carved out of Thane in 2014, with a large tribal population and the MIDC belt around Tarapur and Boisar — home to India's first atomic power station at Tarapur. Its coastline and fishing ports add a maritime strand to an economy split between agriculture and industry.
