UK's University of Bristol To Establish Campus In Mumbai, Classes From 2026
UK's University of Bristol will initially offer courses on data science, economics, finance and investment, immersive arts, and financial technology, among others.
The University of Bristol in the UK has received approval from the University Grants Commission (UGC) to establish a campus in Mumbai, with plans to commence operations in 2026, according to officials on Tuesday. 'Due to open in summer 2026, the Mumbai Enterprise Campus will be the University's first international campus. It's a historic moment and a first in transnational education for the University, which next year celebrates its 150th anniversary and also opens the doors to its new Temple Quarter Enterprise Campus," reads the official notice.
Marking the fifth anniversary of India's National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, the University of Bristol obtained a letter of intent from the Indian government to develop a new Enterprise Campus in Mumbai.
Officials noted that the University of Bristol selected Mumbai due to its strong reputation in technology, innovation, and the arts — areas that closely align with Bristol's strengths. The proposed campus location is situated near central Mumbai.
Similar to the University's new Temple Quarter Enterprise Campus, slated to open in September 2026, the Mumbai campus will emphasise how data, AI, and immersive technologies converge, with a focus on innovation, interdisciplinary education, and inclusion.
Initial courses will cover areas of global expertise for Bristol, such as data science, economics, finance and investment, immersive arts, and financial technology, expanding to computer science and AI, business, and management. The University also plans to offer scholarships through its acclaimed Think Big programme, reported PTI.
'We are absolutely delighted to announce our intention to create a new campus in Mumbai which would mark a pivotal transformation in our 150-year history and a powerful, globally inclusive future we are proud to build in partnership. Developing an in-country base has long been part of our international strategy and supports our ambition to be a top 50 global university," Evelyn Welch, Vice Chancellor and President of the University of Bristol, said.
'Less than two weeks ago, we launched the UK's most powerful supercomputer in Bristol, and next year we will be opening the doors to our new Temple Quarter Enterprise Campus. At such an important time for the University, we are pleased to develop partnerships across the globe which will have meaningful impact," he said.

Shukla, Tharoor contradict Rahul's stance on economy
Shashi Tharoor NEW DELHI: On a day when leader of opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi endorsed US President Donald Trump's "dead economy" remark on India, Congress leader Rajeev Shukla refuted Trump's view, saying he was "wrong", even as party Lok Sabha MP Shashi Tharoor held that US's imposition of 25% tariff and penalties may be just a "bargaining tactic" given that trade negotiations are on between the two countries. Another Congress MP, Karti Chidambaram, took a similar line and said, "Trump is not a conventional politician... We should not panic immediately. These are all opening positions in a negotiation." RS MP Rajeev Shukla told ANI in Parliament complex that "Trump saying that the economies of India and Russia are dead, is wrong. The Indian economy is not dead". He went on to add that "economic reforms were introduced when PV Narasimha Rao and Manmohan Singh were there. Atal Bihari Vajpayee took those reforms forward. Manmohan Singh strengthened them in his 10 years. The current govt has also worked on it. Our economic condition is not at all weak". "If someone claims they can finish us economically, it's likely due to a misunderstanding. Trump is living in a delusion. Imposing tariffs is wrong," Shukla added. With his remarks seen to be contradictory to what Rahul said on the state of the economy, Congress shared a video clip of Shukla responding to a question in Parliament where he said that Rahul Gandhi knows a lot about the economy and went on to list the economic reforms steered by Congress and UPA govt and accused BJP of attacking the party and the Gandhi family without any reason all the time. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like If the Cat Bites You, Here's What It Really Means.

If a good deal is not possible, we may have to walk away". "Twenty-five per cent plus an unspecified penalty for buying oil and gas from Russia could take it up to 35% or 45%; we don't know how much. There is even talk of 100% penalty, which would destroy our trade with America," Tharoor told reporters. "Trade negotiations are still going on and there is a possibility, this may come down. If it doesn't, it will certainly damage our exports because America is a very big market for us," he added.

Brokerages size up US's trade punch: Tariff impact seen as limited
Brokerages are hopeful that the final tariff may land lower - 15-20% - as both nations continue to negotiate a solution Puneet Wadhwa New Delhi Listen to This Article Donald Trump's 25% tariff on Indian goods rattled markets, with the BSE Sensex dropping nearly 800 points intraday before staging a smart recovery. Brokerages are hopeful that the final tariff may land lower — 15–20% — as both nations continue to negotiate a solution. Here's how brokerages are reading the situation: Goldman Sachs · A 25% tariff, if enforced, would moderately dent earnings due to India's low export exposure · Only 2% of MSCI India's total revenues come from goods exports · Every 5-percentage point increase in US tariffs could shave

BSP chief Mayawati slams United States trade tariffs, urges Union govt. to use it as opportunity for self-reliance
Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) president Mayawati on Thursday (July 31, 2025) criticized the newly imposed trade tariffs by the United States and urged the Indian government to protect national interests, particularly those of farmers and small businesses. The BSP leader added that such economic pressures by the United States should be met with resilience and transformed into opportunities for self-reliance. 'Despite the United States being described as a 'friendly' nation, the newly emerged challenge by US President Donald Trump imposing a 25 percent duty on Indian imports and a penalty on importing oil from Russia should be met with resilience and transformed into opportunities for self-reliance,' wrote Ms. Mayawati, on X, adding the country hopes the Union Government will live up to the assurance that no section, especially small and medium enterprises and the agricultural sector, will be adversely affected. The former four-time U.P. CM said India is a country of the world's largest population of hardworking people and if a policy is formulated to take the country forward on the basis of labour force providing work to every hand and implemented properly, then the country can certainly become a happy and prosperous with self-reliance as well as 'Sarvajan Hitaay and Sarvajan Sukhaay', in which the public and national interest is completely inherent and can also remain safe as per the humanitarian and welfare objective of the Constitution. United States President Donald Trump on July 30 announced a 25% tariff on Indian goods from August 1, with an additional but unspecified 'penalty' for its defence and energy imports from Russia.
