IIT Bombay continues to invest in infrastructure that not only meets the growing needs of its academic community but also reflects the Institute’s vision for a more connected, inclusive, and future-ready campus.

Efficiency Apartments

The Institute recently celebrated the ground-breaking of its new Efficiency Apartments project—an ambitious housing initiative designed to support both faculty and research scholars. Once completed, the development will offer 120 two-bedroom flats for faculty members (Wing A) and 309 single-room units for married research scholars (Wing B), with a total built-up area of 46,700 square metres. Located behind the QIP Quarters, near the Udaygiri Building on Hillside, this project was envisioned by the Dean IPS office and is a step towards enhancing residential facilities for IIT Bombay’s vibrant academic community.

The ground-breaking ceremony was attended by:

• Prof. Shireesh Kedare, Director, IIT Bombay
• Prof. Milind Atrey, Deputy Director (Academics, Research and Translation)
• Prof. K.V. Krishna Rao, Deputy Director (Finance, Infrastructure and Administration)
• Prof. S. Sudarshan, former Deputy Director
• Prof. P. Vedagiri, Dean (Infrastructure Planning and Support)
• …and several other senior faculty and staff

New Recruitment & Promotion Unit Office

In another infrastructure milestone, IIT Bombay inaugurated the newly renovated office of its Recruitment & Promotion Unit. The new space is expected to streamline and strengthen institutional processes related to faculty and staff hiring and career advancement.

The inauguration was led by Prof. Shireesh Kedare, Director, IIT Bombay. Other dignitaries who joined him include:

• Prof. K.V. Krishna Rao, Deputy Director (Finance, Infrastructure and Administration)

Together, these developments reflect IIT Bombay’s proactive approach to enabling excellence, whether through improved living spaces that nurture community life or administrative upgrades that empower institutional agility. As the campus grows in complexity and ambition, these thoughtful additions are a reminder that world-class research and teaching begin with a strong, supportive foundation.
