Following is a response from Senior DHS Stata Specialist, Tom Pullum:

Have you obtained access to the NFHS-4 data files? There are SAS versions on the website. The anthropometry variables are in both the PR and KR files. The PR file includes all children in the household. The KR file has slightly fewer children, those whose mother is living and in the same household as the child. We recommend using the PR file unless you want to relate the anthropometry variables to characteristics of the mother or other characteristics of the child, in which case you have to use the KR file. In the PR file, state is given by hv024 and district is given by shdistri. The labels for these variables give the codes and names of the states and districts, respectively.

Greater Mumbai includes two separate districts (Mumbai District and Mumbai Suburban District), so be sure to select both of those districts if you are interested in the results for Greater Mumbai.
