Establishing a new medical college with a 300-bed teaching hospital generally costs between ₹250 crore to ₹500 crore (or up to ₹900 crore for premium setups), depending on location, land costs, and scale. Government schemes estimate a baseline cost of about ₹189 crore to ₹250 crore for basic state-supported projects, whereas private and fully-equipped campuses require significantly higher initial capital.
