I.C. Colony (Immaculate Conception Colony) is a locality about 25 ha (62 acres) in area in the suburb of Borivali in north-west Mumbai.
IC Colony has the highest concentration of Christians, particularly of Roman Catholics in Mumbai. The name is derived from the Church of the Immaculate Conception, or IC Church, which is at the South Eastern entrance of the colony. The Holy Cross Colony and extension (also called IC extension), on Holy Cross Street, which extends beyond IC Colony towards Dahisar (Mumbai's last zone before Thane district) is also part of the extended Catholic locale. Many old mansions can be found here though most are now broken down to make way for newer apartment buildings. The Postal Index Number for the colony is 400103.
The colony has accessibility to the Link Road, SV Road, Gorai-Manori-Uttan beaches, the Western Express Highway, Western Railway Line, and the new Mumbai Metro Line 2A.
