Parliament House (ISO: Saṁsada Bhavana) is the seat of the Parliament of India, located in New Delhi. It houses the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha, which are the lower and upper houses respectively in India's bicameral parliament. It is located on Rafi Marg in Central Vista, the central administrative area in New Delhi, and positioned to the east of the Old Parliament House, amongst the other administrative buildings of the Indian government. The Old Parliament House was constructed in 1927. Proposals for a new parliament building to replace the old one emerged in the early 2010s due to the ageing of the old building. In 2019, the proposal to construct a new parliament building was unveiled by the Government of India as part of the Central Vista Redevelopment Project. It was inaugurated on 28 May 2023 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The new building was first used for official business on 19 September 2023 during a special session of the parliament.
