Overview
- Revised hostel menus took effect on March 14 after the mess council notified all enrolled students by email.
- Changes include serving only one vegetarian dish per meal, dropping the additional non‑vegetarian item, and removing fried or boiled items.
- Dinner desserts shift to milkshakes or ice cream, with fruits added at lunch and dinner and only one milk option provided.
- Tea parties, special lunches or dinners, gala dinners, and similar events are postponed indefinitely to reduce LPG use.
- IIT Bombay calls the step temporary, says a Mess Committee meeting will consider compensation, and plans to restore the regular menu once supply concerns ease nationally.
