The upkeep of Delhi's iconic Lutyens bungalows, now nearly a century old, has become increasingly expensive. According to information obtained through an RTI query, the annual expenditure on the renovation, furnishing, and repair of the official residences of Union Ministers touched a record high of ₹92.35 crore in 2025-26, more than three times the ₹27.47 crore spent in 2014-15. The government spent a total of ₹547.68 crore on these works between 2014-15 and 2025-26. The rising cost is attributed to inflation and the maintenance of ageing structures.
