Mahatma Gandhi Road (M.G. Road) in Bangalore, India, was called "South Parade" in British times and renamed post independence. Many Indian cities (including New Delhi and Mumbai) have an M.G. Road, and in general there is no linkage between these various roads (except that in many cases, these happen to be the busiest part of the city).

Along with retail stores and food outlets, M.G. Road is also home to a large number of financial institutions like Canara Bank, ING Vysya, Vijaya Bank, Oriental Bank of Commerce, Citibank, HSBC, Scotia Bank, BNP Paribas, Standard Chartered, UTI Bank, Deutsche Bank, etc. On its Trinity circle end are located some of the Bangalore's best hotels like The Oberoi and the Taj Residency. Presently M.G. Road is being improved and prepared for the long-awaited Metro Rail line that connects the eastern part of Bangalore with the west.
