The train services were on halt while several traffic signals had also stopped working.
The power has now been restored in most parts of the city.
The power outage occurred due to grid failure at Tata Power.
Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray has ordered a probe into the large scale outage which is an unprecedented scene in Mumbai.
Stock markets and airports have, however, remained functional.
The unprecedented power cut occurred little after 10 in the morning leaving people clueless.
