According to reports, the emblem is made of bronze weighing 9,500kg and with a 6.5m height. It has been cast at the top of the Central Foyer of the new Parliament building. A supporting structure of steel weighing around 6,500 kg has been constructed to support the emblem.
The concept sketch and process of casting of the National Emblem on the roof of the new Parliament building has gone through eight different stages of preparation from clay modelling/computer graphics to bronze casting and polishing, the government said.
In a tweet, Modi said he interacted with workers involved in the construction work of the new Parliament after unveiling the national emblem cast. "I had a wonderful interaction with the Shramjeevis who have been involved in the making of the Parliament. We are proud of their efforts and will always remember their contribution to our nation," the PM said in a tweet.
