Parliament Disruptions During Monsoon Session Cause Financial and Productivity Losses
Parliament has faced repeated disruptions and adjournments during the Monsoon Session, leading to stalled legislative work and significant financial costs. Estimates indicate that running Parliament costs about Rs 2.5 lakh per minute, amounting to nearly Rs 9 crore for a six-hour working day. The Monsoon Session is historically the least productive, with an average productivity of 69.4% from 2015 to 2025, lower than other sessions. These disruptions continue despite ongoing expenses for maintenance, salaries, and operations.
