The Government of Delhi, led by Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, has approved the construction of a modern medical college and hostel complex at the Indira Gandhi Hospital campus.
The project, estimated at ₹805.99 crore, is scheduled for completion by 2028 and is aimed at strengthening healthcare and medical education infrastructure in the national capital. The proposal received clearance during a meeting of the Expenditure Finance Committee (EFC).
The planned development will include a full-fledged medical college, separate hostels for male and female students, faculty housing, and a modern academic block. Designed in line with National Medical Commission norms, the institution will eventually support 250 MBBS seats annually, with teaching activities beginning with an initial intake of 150 students.
The first phase of the project will involve construction of the academic block, student hostels, and faculty residences over nearly 1,17,246 sq m, including basement facilities for parking and utilities across about 34,000 sq m. The campus is also planned with advanced classrooms, laboratories, solar power systems, rainwater harvesting, water recycling facilities, and energy-efficient infrastructure.
The Public Works Department will execute the project, while the Health and Family Welfare Department will oversee implementation. Authorities have been directed to ensure adherence to quality standards, timely execution, and sustainable construction practices.
