The current chancery building was acquired in the 1950s and serves as the official diplomatic headquarters.<ref>{{Cite web |title=History of the Indian Embassy in Paris |url=https://www.eoiparis.gov.in/page/embassy-history/ |access-date=2025-02-07 |website=Embassy of India, Paris}}</ref> The embassy is located in the 16th arrondissement, a district known for its diplomatic missions and cultural institutions.
