EU Leaders to Attend Republic Day 2026 as Chief Guests and Co-Chair India-EU Summit

The President of the European Commission and the President of the European Council will visit India as chief guests for Republic Day 2026 and co-chair the 16th India-EU Summit. This visit aims to strengthen ties amid global geopolitical shifts. Key discussions include resolving the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), which imposes 20-35% carbon charges on Indian exports like steel, aluminium, cement, and fertilizers. India considers CBAM a non-tariff barrier critical for Free Trade Agreement (FTA) success. The partnership also covers defence and security cooperation.

Next Delimitation Exercise Scheduled After 2027 Census to Reshape Lok Sabha Seats

The upcoming delimitation after Census 2027 will redistribute Lok Sabha seats based on population changes, marking the most significant shift since Independence. Southern and western states with low fertility rates may lose proportional representation. Northern states like Uttar Pradesh could see seats rise from 80 to 151, Bihar from 40 to 82. Tamil Nadu's seats may increase from 39 to 53, Kerala's from 20 to 23, reducing their overall share. This will impact federal balance and coalition politics.
