The University of Mumbai (MU) has begun implementing a 200-kilowatt (kW) solar power project at its Kalina Complex, which will enable seven buildings to run entirely on renewable energy and reduce electricity costs by over Rs 4 lakh per month.

The initiative forms part of the university’s broader objectives of increasing the use of renewable energy, cutting carbon emissions, and raising environmental awareness among students. Earlier, solar power projects were launched at the Thane Sub-Campus and the School of Engineering Applied Sciences in Kalyan.
