7, Lok Kalyan Marg
7, Lok Kalyan Marg

7, Lok Kalyan Marg, formerly 7, Race Course Road, is the official residence and principal workplace of the Prime Minister of India. Situated on Lok Kalyan Marg, New Delhi, the official name of the Prime Minister's residence complex is Panchavati. It is spread over 4.9 hectares (12 acres) of land, comprising five bungalows in Lutyens' Delhi, built in the 1980s, which are the Prime Minister's office, residency zone and security establishment, including one occupied by Special Protection Group (SPG) and another being a guest house. However, even though there are 5 bungalows, they are collectively called 7, Lok Kalyan Marg. It does not house the Prime Minister's Office but has a conference room for informal meetings.The entire Lok Kalyan Marg, which lies right across the road, is closed to the public. Rajiv Gandhi was the first Prime Minister to reside at the erstwhile 7 Race Course Road, in 1984. It does not house the Prime Minister's Office (PMO), which is located in the South Block of the Secretariat Building, on Raisina Hill nearby in New Delhi, where the Cabinet Secretariat functions. The nearest Delhi Metro station is Lok Kalyan Marg metro station. When a new Prime Minister is nominated his/her original house is for the time being given a security detail and the new office holder is then advised to move in the 7, LKM at the earliest possible date.The residence was earlier called 7, Race Course Road, which changed to 7, Lok Kalyan Marg, following the renaming of the road on which the house is situated, in September 2016.

12, Tughlaq Road

12, Tughlaq Road (also known as 12, Tughlaq Lane) is a Type VII government bungalow on Tughlaq Road in Lutyens' Delhi, New Delhi, India. It forms part of the cluster of stately bungalows allotted by the Directorate of Estates to Members of Parliament and senior office-holders of the Union government. The bungalow was constructed in the 1920s as part of the British-era civic scheme designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens and Sir Herbert Baker, featuring high ceilings, colonnaded verandahs and deep eaves, set within a landscaped compound of mature jamun and shamiana trees. In 1977, former Prime Minister Charan Singh was allotted the residence upon joining the Morarji Desai ministry. His son, RLD leader Ajit Singh, occupied it until 2014, when the Directorate served an eviction notice and later imposed a penalty of ₹ 5,77,500 for overstaying beyond his allotment. In 2004, then-Member of Parliament Rahul Gandhi was allotted 12, Tughlaq Road, and he remained in residence for nearly two decades. Following his disqualification as an MP in April 2023, Gandhi vacated the bungalow on 22 April 2023 and temporarily moved to his mother's official residence at 10, Janpath. Upon restoration of his Lok Sabha membership on 4 August 2023, he was re-allotted the same bungalow but chose not to return, later shifting instead to 5, Sunehri Bagh Road. The neighbouring Tughlaq Road police station holds its own place in modern Indian history, having registered FIRs in the aftermaths of the assassinations of Mahatma Gandhi in 1948 and Indira Gandhi in 1984.
