The CCS Building refers to the Common Central Secretariat, a modern complex of 10 interconnected office buildings under construction in New Delhi as part of the Central Vista redevelopment project.
It is designed to house the central government ministries and departments, consolidating offices currently scattered across older buildings like Shastri Bhavan, Nirman Bhavan, Krishi Bhavan, and Udyog Bhavan into a single, energy-efficient campus.
 
Key points about the CCS Buildings:
 

• The project aims to enhance administrative efficiency by bringing most government ministries under one roof, replacing aging colonial-era buildings.

 

• The first CCS building, named Kartavya Bhavan, was inaugurated by P M Modi in August 2025. It accommodates important ministries including Home Affairs, External Affairs, Rural Development, MSME, Petroleum and Natural Gas, and the Principal Scientific Adviser’s office.

 

• Ten CCS buildings are planned, expected to be completed by June 2027, with buildings 1, 2, and 3 nearly finished, and building 10 scheduled for completion by April 2026.

 

• The buildings are located along Kartavya Path (formerly Rajpath), with temporary relocation of ministries underway from their older offices for ongoing construction.

 

• The CCS project includes state-of-the-art features for energy efficiency such as heat-reducing glass, LED lights, smart power management, and sensors.

 

• The redevelopment initiative also involves creating a new Executive Enclave for the Prime Minister’s Office, Cabinet Secretariat, and National Security Council Secretariats, along with transforming the historic North and South Blocks into museums.

 

• This transformation represents a shift of about 54,000 government personnel into modern, well-planned office spaces to facilitate better coordination and governance.

 
Thus, the CCS Building is a critical element of India's administrative modernization, designed as a cluster of new government office buildings replacing older secretariat structures in New Delhi.
