Before the 2029 elections, the center is preparing a push for delimitation and a new bill.According to government officials who spoke to NDTV, the Center has started assembling political support for a new push on delimitation. The government is investigating the prospect of introducing a new bill and finishing the process prior to the 2029 Lok Sabha elections.
The action may lead to the first significant redrawing of parliamentary seats in decades and rekindle a long-running political controversy in India.
Before taking any legislative action, the government, according to sources, has begun consultations with a number of regional parties and is interacting with stakeholders from all political backgrounds. The DMK and Trinamool Congress are among those contacted, and talks with other regional players are also in progress.

The outreach occurs at a critical point. The population statistics that were fixed following the 1971 Census are the basis for the present distribution of Lok Sabha seats. Even though there are now 543 elected members of the Lok Sabha, any delimitation process after the constitutional freeze expires is anticipated to change the distribution of state representation.
According to government sources, the Center is aware of the concerns expressed by states that have effectively managed population increase and is working toward a formula that can get broader political approval.
Discussions are centred on resolving issues while upholding the idea of fair representation since the government believes that a consensus-driven approach will be essential to preventing delimitation from becoming a politically contentious subject, according to sources.The Center is anticipated to proceed with the law after consultations are finished and a broader consensus is reached, according to sources.
Delimitation is set to become one of the most important political and constitutional exercises before the next general elections, with ramifications for parliamentary representation, federal balance, and the country's future electoral map, which makes the renewed push noteworthy.
