Obviously these are record numbers, and then there are averages which will be lower, but not that much lower.
The article makes a point of differentiating between average and peak movement rates, although it slightly under-reports Gatwick's stats, which were 767 fixed-wing movements per day in 2016 rather than 757.
Here's what appears to be the original Times of India article that the Gulf News one is based on:
Now, Mumbai world's busiest airport with only one runway
Despite the somewhat confusing infographic, which appears to suggest that there are twice as many arrivals as departures(!):
there doesn't seem any reason to doubt BOM's 837 movements per day average.
