Prime Minister Narendra Modi will open the newly completed Kartavya Bhavan–03 at Kartavya Path in the national capital on Wednesday at around 12:15 pm.
Later in the evening, the Prime Minister will address a public gathering at the same venue at approximately 6:30 pm, according to a statement issued by the Prime Minister on Tuesday.
The ongoing Central Vista redevelopment project has reached a major milestone with the opening of Kartavya Bhavan-03. As the first of several upcoming Common Central Secretariat buildings, the new structure is designed to streamline administrative functioning by consolidating various ministries and departments currently operating from scattered locations across Delhi.
Kartavya Bhavan-03 has seven floors (ground + 6 levels) and two basement levels, covering an area of about 1.5 lakh square meters. It will house several key government offices, including those of the Ministries of Home Affairs, External Affairs, Rural Development, MSME, DoPT, Petroleum & Natural Gas, and the Principal Scientific Adviser (PSA).
The state-of-the-art complex integrates modern infrastructure with cutting-edge technology to support efficient and secure governance.
The new building will showcase modern governance infrastructure incorporating IT-ready and secure workspaces, ID card-based access controls, integrated electronic surveillance, and a centralized command system.
In addition to its modern features, the building also exemplifies a strong commitment to environmental sustainability.
The facility will promote eco-consciousness through zero-discharge waste management, in-house solid waste processing, e-vehicle charging stations, and considerable use of recycled construction material.
Kartavya Bhavan–03 is designed to consume 30 per cent less energy compared to conventional office buildings. It has energy-efficient elevators, a central energy management system, LED lighting with occupancy sensors, and double-glazed façade windows to control indoor temperatures and lower noise levels.
Over 5.34 lakh units of electricity will be produced yearly by the rooftop solar panels.
