David Williams opened the scoring for ATKMB in the ninth minute but an own goal from Pritam Kotal in the 24th minute restored parity for Mumbai. Both teams had their fair share of chances in each half but could not produce a winner.
The result means ATKMB could not break into the top-four, remaining fifth with 20 points from 12 games.
