PM Modi inaugurates 184 Type-VII multi-storey flats for MPs in Delhi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday inaugurated the 184 newly constructed Type-VII Multi-Storey Flats for Members of Parliament at Baba Kharak Singh (BKS) Marg, New Delhi.

He also planted a Sindoor sapling at the residential premises and interacted with 'shramjeevis', workers and engineers behind the flats.

The four towers are beautifully named Krishna, Godavari, Kosi and Hooghly - four great rivers of India that give life to crores of people, and now their inspiration will also flow into the lives of our lawmakers, he mentioned.


Taking a jibe at the opposition, he added, “Some people may get upset that the name Kosi reminds them of Bihar’s elections. Such small-minded people always think in that way..."

Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, Union Minister of Parliamentary Affairs and Minority Affairs Kiren Rijiju, and Union Minister of Housing and Urban Affairs and Power Manohar Lal were also present at the occasion.

The inaugurated complex is designed to be self-sufficient and is equipped with a full range of modern amenities to address the functional needs of the members of the Parliament.

"Our MPs will face no issues in the new residences and will be able to focus more on their work... In these multi-storey buildings, more than 180 MPs will live together," Modi said.

Incorporating green technology, the project adheres to the standards of the GRIHA 3-star rating and complies with the National Building Code (NBC) 2016. These environmentally sustainable features are expected to contribute to energy conservation, renewable energy generation, and effective waste management, as per a press release issued by the government.

The use of advanced construction technology—specifically, monolithic concrete with aluminum shuttering—enabled timely completion of the project while ensuring structural durability. The complex is also Divyang-friendly, demonstrating a commitment to inclusive design.

PM Modi also highlighted that the development of the project was necessitated due to shortage of adequate housing for MP. Owing to the limited availability of land, there has been a sustained emphasis on vertical housing developments aimed at optimizing land use and minimizing maintenance costs.

"Like I previously said, the rent of the ministries functioning from rented buildings would cost the government nearly Rs 1500 crores annually... Similarly, the government expenses were very high in the absence of an adequate number of MP residences," the prime minister said.

"Despite a shortage of MP residences, no new residence was constructed from 2014 to 2024. We took this work as a campaign. Around 350 MP residences have been built since 2014...," he added.

Each residential unit for MPs offers approximately 5,000 square feet of carpet area, providing ample space for both residential and official functions. The inclusion of dedicated areas for offices, staff accommodation, and a community center will support members of Parliament in fulfilling their responsibilities as public representatives, the government stated.

All buildings within the complex are constructed to be earthquake-resistant, in accordance with modern structural design norms. A comprehensive and robust security system has been implemented to ensure the safety of all residents.

This residential complex, situated at BKS Marg, New Delhi, offers significant locational advantages for the MPs, particularly due to its proximity to the Parliament House Complex.

PM Modi recalled the inauguration of Kartavya Path Common Central Secretariat buildings as he spoke during the inauguration ceremony of the new flats.

“A few days ago, I inaugurated the Kartavya Path Common Central Secretariat buildings, and today I have the opportunity to inaugurate Kartavya Bhavan, the residential complex for my colleagues in Parliament," he said.
