Ambernath has become one of the fastest growing suburb of North-east Mumbai around Kalyan on the Mumbai – Pune route. Ambernath is part of Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) and home of many national and international companies. Ambernath has residents of all religions living peacefully with each other for decades. The name Ambarnath literally means Lord of the sky. Ambarnath is the site of a very old temple dedicated to Lord Shiva, dating back, to 10th century. The temple is carved out of stone in Hemad style construction. Ambarnath lies on Mumbai to Pune railway route. Most people rely on the railway link to commute to Mumbai for work. Like all Mumbai suburbs Ambarnath is divided into east Ambarnath and west Ambarnath by the railway. Ambarnath west is in an industrial zone and is home to hundreds of small and large chemical factories. An Ordnance Factory of the Ordnance Factories Board has been established by the Government of India which is one of the reasons for Ambernath developing into a residential neighbourhood. A large manufacturing facility of WIMCO, India’s largest manufacturer of safety matchsticks, is also located in Ambarnath on the Kalyan-Badlapur Road.

People claim that Guru Nanak visited Ambarnath Shiv Temple on 25 February 1415 while Surinder Singh Kohli and other historians mention the period to be earlier than this. Ambarnath is not the actual name of this town. It was “Hallyacha Pada”, a village near the Welfare Center in Ambernath East was the original name of this town. Dr. Rajendra Prasad inaugurated the railway station “Hallyacha Pada” after independence. This town started flourishing after the arrival of DMC, WIMCO and got rechristened as Ambarnath before this there were only two villages recognised in this area as Kohoj-Khuntawali at west and Hallyacha Pada at East. When first Nagarpalika came in existence, Leaders like Meheruddin Pathan, Madan Singh, Manvir Singh, Nalwade, Laxman Jathar, D.K.Bhandarkar (Shiv Sena leader) transformed this city into a high standard little town. Subsequently arrival of MIDC pumped in more productivity in this town. Those days the OCTROI revenue from this town was 2nd in the entire Maharashtra state after Pimpri-Chinchwad.

Ambarnath (East) has planned probably one of the largest bungalows area in entire Asia (Suryodaya Housing Society) which contains more than 655 plots and covers around 4 km² of area. The housing society has 4 sections namely Kansai, Saai, Kher, named after former chief minister of Mumbai state Mr. B. G. Kher, who used to stay near to (know for Herambh mandir) and Vadavali. Out of these Kansai and Vadavali were small villages in the past. The area in the west was named Javsai and the one in east was known Kansai. Ambarnath east was once a pristine area of beautiful bungalows but unplanned development over the years has taken its toll. The infrastructure is getting stretched to support the current population growth and the bungalows have all been replaced with cookie cutter apartment buildings.It is also well known for a laboratory of DRDO named Naval materials research laboratory.Which is engaged in development of materials for armed forces.

As a result of the recent objections being raised by the Union Ministry of Environment and Forests on the current proposed location of the Navi Mumbai International Airport near Kopra Panvel area, apparently because the construction of the airport would involve reclamation of low-lying areas in an ecologically fragile zone as well as destruction of several hectares of mangroves, other locations were being considered, which included the one off village Nevali near Kalyan-Ambernath 55 km away from the current airport in Mumbai. There exists an old and abandoned air-strip of World War II era and the Union Defence Ministry owns the 1,500 acres (6.1 km2) of land on which it is located. But the proposal was later dropped and they zeroed on the airport near Panvel.
