During the momentous occasion of 75th year of Independence, the new Parliament building of India was inaugurated by the prime minister. The new building embodies the entire nation's rich culture, pride, and spirit. The new Parliament building holds immense significance for India on various fronts. It symbolises India's growing power on the global stage, characterised by its large, modern, and sustainable design. The New Parliament also offers parliamentarians a more efficient and effective workspace and enhance their productivity.
The new building was completed in May 2023 . It was constructed as a part of the Central Vista Redevelopment project – which was commissioned in the year 2019.
It has several architectural marvels to show case. The new Parliament building has a triangular-shaped layout covering approx. 65,000 sq m. It is conceptualised around eight themes, showcasing approx.255 crafts sourced from around 400 artisans across India.
The new Indian Parliament building boasts six gates named after real and mythical creatures, evoking Indian culture and mythology at its entrance. A Foucault pendulum hangs from the ceiling of the Central Foyer. It is the largest of its kind in India and symbolises India's connection with the vast cosmos. The Lok Sabha Hall and Rajya Sabha Hall embody the Peacock, India's national bird, and the Lotus, the national flower, respectively.
The new complex is a "platinum-rated green building". It showcases India's dedication to sustainability. The new complex also utilises sustainable materials such as sandstone, commonly found in Indian architecture.The new building is environmentally friendly and aims for a 30 percent reduction in electricity consumption compared to the old one. It features rainwater harvesting, water recycling, and a space-efficient design, with a lifespan of 150 years. All records, including house proceedings are digitised to align with the new Parliament's eco-friendly approach.
