At a wild guess, 23.00 hrs.
Does MMB say anything under Check-in / Other way to check-in?

Adding a comment for others, since SeaSkyBound appears to have left BOM by now:
I've been let into the airport as early as 10PM for that flight.
If you are in Club, First or have OneWorld status use the left most door as you look at the terminal - no, not that one - further left way past where everyone else is.
This is the premium entrance, they may be a little more lax here.
Once inside you an relax in a sofa/pod thing.
Usually there are check in agents from about 10:30 at the pods but be sure to keep an eye on the premium desks, there is sometimes a BA staffer there.
You can get in with a boarding pass/itinerary on your phone if you don't have a printed one.

not sure it this has been memtioned, but you will need to show physical proof of your travel, otherwise they will not let you in to the airport, I have been at the airport around 10.30 pm for the BA flights no problem getting in. \
Alot of my recent travels have been on Qatar, their flight does not depart until 4.20am
showing up at the airport at 11pm has not been a problem
And agreed the lounges are really nice, both the first and Business
they will give you a card depending on your class of service and status

As others have mentioned I have gone through between 2200 and 22:30 on many an occasion so as to miss the queues that usually develope of late around 2300 hrs (premium entrance i.e far left) , never had an issue. Less staff early on though as most are not there until around 3 to 3 1/2 hours before flight.
I must admit they are one of the best staffs I have come across on the BA network, they always go above and beyond. Excellent all round.
