The U.S. Embassy in New Delhi will provide a secure, functional, sustainable, and resilient platform for U.S. diplomacy in India. On the existing 28-acre site in New Delhi’s diplomatic enclave and next to the Edward Durrell Stone original Chancery building, the multi-building campus will provide a new Chancery and office annex, staff residences, and support facilities.  

Phase I includes the new buildings and a resilient landscape.  Phase II will include a renovation of the historic Stone Chancery that is listed on the Secretary’s Register of Culturally Significant Properties. 

The construction contract was awarded to B.L. Harbert International of Birmingham, Alabama and completion is anticipated in 2027.  Weiss/Manfredi of New York, New York is the architect, building upon their historic studies work to bridge the historic and modern buildings to create a holistic new campus.  An estimated $200 million will be invested in the local economy, and the project is estimated to employ 800 Indian workers at the peak of construction activities.
