Madan Lal Khurana was born in Lyallpur, Punjab, British India, (now called Faisalabad in Punjab, Pakistan) to S.D. Khurana and Laxmi Devi. Khurana was barely 12 when the family was forced to migrate to Delhi by Partition and began to piece its life together again at a refugee colony Kirti Nagar in New Delhi. He took his bachelor's degree from Kirori Mal College under Delhi University.

Khurana had his training in politics at Allahabad University, where he was doing his post-graduation in economics. He was general secretary of the Allahabad Students Union in 1959 and became general secretary of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad in 1960.

As a youth, Khurana became a teacher with Vijay Kumar Malhotra, at PGDAV (evening) College before deciding to enter politics. Madan Lal Khurana, Vijay Kumar Malhotra, Kedar Nath Sahani and Kanwar Lal Gupta founded the Delhi chapter of the Jan Sangh, which in 1980 transformed into BJP. Khurana was the Jan Sangh's general secretary from 1965 to 1967. He dominated first Municipal Corporation politics and then the Metropolitan Council where he was the Chief Whip, Executive Councillor and Leader of the Opposition by turns.
