According to officials, two auspicious windows have been identified for the formal inauguration and transition. The first coincides with January 14, Makar Sankranti, while the second falls between January 19 and January 27, before the commencement of Gupt Navratri. If final touches extend beyond these dates, the move may be scheduled in February.
The new PMO is part of the Central Vista Redevelopment Project, a large-scale initiative to modernise administrative infrastructure in the national capital. Initially referred to as the Executive Enclave during construction, the complex was renamed Seva Teerth last month, a term signifying a place dedicated to public service.
The Seva Teerth complex comprises three buildings with clearly defined functions. Seva Teerth-1 will house the Prime Minister’s Office, Seva Teerth-2 will accommodate the Cabinet Secretariat, and Seva Teerth-3 will host the National Security Council Secretariat along with the office of National Security Advisor Ajit Doval. Officials said this consolidated layout is intended to improve coordination among key decision-making bodies.
The Central Vista project spans the stretch from Rashtrapati Bhavan to India Gate and includes the new Parliament building, a common central secretariat for ministries, and new residences for the Prime Minister and Vice President. Announced in September 2019, the project’s foundation stone was laid by PM Modi on December 10, 2020. The government has earmarked an estimated ₹20,000 crore for the entire redevelopment.
As part of the reorganisation, the Union Home Ministry has already begun shifting from the historic North Block to the Common Central Secretariat building on Janpath. Once ministerial offices are fully relocated, North and South Blocks are proposed to be converted into the National Museum of Erasures in India, expected to display between 25,000 and 30,000 artefacts.
Officials said the transition to the new PMO marks a significant administrative milestone, aligning governance infrastructure with contemporary needs while preserving the ceremonial and functional importance of the Raisina Hills area.
