印度总理莫迪主持的内阁经济事务委员会11月11日批准，在新德里历史建筑北区大楼与南区大楼建筑群内建设 Yuge Yugeen Bharat 博物馆，项目估算总造价323亿卢比（3,230 crore），由印度文化部通过适应性再利用的方式开发这两座历史建筑。
北区与南区大楼是建筑师 Herbert Baker 设计、1931年建成的秘书处建筑群，长期是印度财政部与内政部等中央部委的所在地。印度政府称，改造将保留建筑的历史风貌，把它变成一座展示印度文明遗产延续性、多样性与丰富性的地标性文明博物馆。
按官方公布的方案，博物馆建筑面积约178,509平方米，展示面积超过10万平方米，印度政府称其将成为全球展示面积最大的博物馆；印度媒体列出的对照数字是巴黎卢浮宫约7.3万平方米、伦敦大英博物馆约7万平方米、圣彼得堡冬宫约6.68万平方米。约180万件展品已被列入遴选范围，来源包括印度国家博物馆、印度考古调查局下属52座遗址博物馆、各邦收藏与私人藏品。
博物馆按日接待3万名、年接待1,000万名参观者设计。项目将于2026-27财年至2030-31财年分阶段实施，首个以「装饰」为主题的展厅预计2027年下半年在北区大楼开放。该博物馆由莫迪于2023年5月18日国际博物馆博览会期间宣布设立，方案已于2026年7月27日通过公共投资委员会评估。

India's Cabinet Approves Yuge Yugeen Bharat Museum: Rs 32.3 Billion to Turn New Delhi's North and South Blocks Into the World's Largest Museum Display Space
The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, approved on November 11 the development of the Yuge Yugeen Bharat Museum inside the North Block and South Block complex in New Delhi, at an estimated total project cost of Rs 3,230 crore (Rs 32.3 billion). India's Ministry of Culture will develop the museum through the adaptive reuse of the two historic buildings.
The North and South Blocks are the Secretariat buildings designed by Herbert Baker and completed in 1931, long home to central ministries including Finance and Home Affairs. The Indian government says the conversion will preserve the buildings' architectural and heritage character while turning them into a landmark civilizational museum showcasing the continuity, diversity and richness of India's heritage.
Under the approved plan, the museum will have a built-up area of about 178,509 square metres and a display area of more than 100,000 square metres, which the Indian government says will make it the museum with the largest display area in the world. Indian media put the comparison figures at about 73,000 square metres for the Louvre in Paris, 70,000 for the British Museum in London and 66,800 for the Hermitage in St Petersburg. Around 1.8 million objects have been identified for possible display, drawn from the National Museum, 52 site museums of the Archaeological Survey of India, state collections and private holdings.
The museum is designed for 30,000 visitors a day and 10 million visitors a year. The project will be implemented in phases from fiscal 2026-27 to 2030-31, and the first gallery, on the theme of Adornment, is expected to open in the North Block in the latter part of 2027. The museum was announced by Modi on May 18, 2023, during the International Museum Expo, and the proposal was appraised by the Public Investment Board on July 27, 2026.
