You sure can bring pre-packaged food! However, you'd be happy to know that instead of lugging bulky soup cans or pasta boxes, you might want to carry just a few and buy some here. You'll be surprised how easily and readily available "imported or foreign" food is. Everything from cereal to baby food to pasta to mac and cheese - you'll be likely to find it at any grocery store in Mumbai. While you're at it, maybe you can taste Indian food as well that simply requires you to put a packet in hot water and voila - your meal's ready. Not exactly gourmet but serves the purpose nonetheless.

As Mumbai is a dump on the global map, you can bring anything there..

Not at all. But, make sure the quantity involved does give the suspicion that you are setting up a shop.
