Chief Minister Rekha Gupta said she has approved a new medical college and hostel complex project costing approximately ₹806 crore [1].
The investment represents a strategic effort to expand the city's healthcare infrastructure. By increasing the number of trained medical professionals, the government intends to meet the rising demand for healthcare services across the region.
The facility will be located on the Indira Gandhi Hospital campus in Dwarka [1]. The project includes both the medical college and a dedicated hostel complex to support students and faculty [1]. According to government records, the total cost of the project is ₹805.99 crore [2].
This expansion is designed to boost overall healthcare delivery in Delhi. The administration intends to utilize the new facility to address critical gaps in medical education and clinical practice, ensuring the city can handle future population growth.
Officials said the project is slated for completion by 2028 [2]. The timeline aligns with projected needs for additional doctors to enter the workforce by that year [1].
Construction will integrate the new academic buildings with existing hospital operations at the Dwarka site. The project follows an initial approval process that began in early 2023 [3].
“The project cost is ₹805.99 crore.”
The establishment of this medical college signifies a shift toward localized medical training in Dwarka, reducing the burden on existing city hospitals. By aligning the 2028 completion date with projected doctor shortages, the Delhi government is attempting to synchronize infrastructure growth with public health workforce requirements.
