Unveiling India’s first purpose-built Parliament

The Indian Parliament has a brand-new building designed to address the present and future needs of efficient parliamentary functioning. The new building measuring about 21,765 sq m was to be constructed on a triangular-shaped plot measuring approximately 10.5 acres.
