We are proud to announce that Union Finance Minister Smt Nirmala Sitharaman inaugurated our permanent campus in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) on 24 Feb, 2024. The event was hosted by Mr Kumar Mangalam Birla, our Chancellor. Vice Chancellor Prof V Ramgopal Rao, corporate leaders, faculty, students, and staff were present for the occasion.

The campus will be home to the three premier institutions under the aegis of BITS Pilani – BITS Law School, Mumbai (BITSLAW), BITSoM - BITS School of Management and BITS Design School (BITSDES). The digital first campus has a Centre of Excellence and an Academic Building that between them house the library, a startup incubation centre, an event hall, video and podcast studios, classrooms equipped for hybrid teaching, tutorial rooms, and spaces for trans-disciplinary learning and collaboration. The fully residential campus has sports facilities, a gymnasium, and of course, the cafeteria. Spread across 63 acres, 80% of which is dedicated to lush green landscaped spaces, the campus has a zero-discharge scheme with 100% recycled water utilization, energy-saving lighting systems, and solar power to work towards a zero-carbon footprint. Once fully developed, it will accommodate 5000 students.

As Mrs Sitharaman unveiled the plaque to commemorate the occasion, she congratulated Mr Kumar Mangalam Birla and the BITS Pilani community for their steadfast commitment to excellence in education over several decades.
