The Delhi government has approved the construction of two new hostel buildings at Maulana Azad Medical College (MAMC), with a total estimated cost of ₹573.41 crore (approximately $69 million USD). The project was greenlit by the Expenditure Finance Committee (ECC) chaired by Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta. The new hostel for female students will cost ₹269.19 crore, while the boys’ hostel will be built for ₹304.22 crore. The existing hostels, constructed between 1965 and 1982, have become inadequate for the growing student population, which has increased from 150 to 250 students annually. This has led to overcrowding, with many students sharing rooms or unable to secure accommodation. Gupta emphasized that the project is designed to improve students' living conditions and support their academic success, rather than being commercially driven. Construction is set to begin following the necessary administrative and financial approvals, with an expected completion timeline of 36 months.
