Central Vista: Here's a look at the new Parliament building

The new building is set in a way to co-exist with the old one.

The new Parliament building is expected to open by the end of January 2023; final touches are being added to the interiors at the moment. It was due to be completed by November last year.

The new Parliament building is part of the Central Vista project that aims to give a new identity to the ‘power corridor’ of India.

The 3-km Rajpath will be revamped from the Rashtrapati Bhavan to the India Gate, constructing a common central secretariat, a new office, the residence of the prime minister, and a new vice-president enclave.

The building is being built by Tata Projects Ltd. It will feature a huge constitution hall to highlight India's democratic legacy, a lounge for lawmakers, a library, many committee rooms, dining places, and plenty of parking area.

India’s present Parliament building, previously known as the Council House, was designed by British architects Sir Edwin Lutyens and Herbert Baker. The new building is set in a way to co-exist with the old one.

The new building is being built because the current one is almost a 100-year-old building. The aim is also to accommodate the increased number of workers and visitors.
