The Kopri Colony in Thane (E) boasts of a population of more than 50,000 Sindhis staying in 50 co-operative exclusive Sindhi societies and other areas. In 1955, there were only 5,000 Sindhis here, who stayed in just 25 blocks. Thane (W) has 25,000 Sindhis.

The corporators here are Veena Bhatia and Laxman Tikwani, who look after the Thane city affairs. Among the prominent Sindhi citizens in this area are Dr. Satram Makhija, Gulab Gulrajani, Prakash Kotwani, Laxmandas Mukli and Holaram Hans.

In the early days, most of the Sindhis were bakers but now, they can be found in every profession. Majority of them are businessmen engaged mostly in construction or clothing business.
