The Third Modi ministry, also called Modi 3.0, is the union council of ministers of India headed by the Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi, which was formed after the 2024 Indian general election held in seven phases from 19 April to 1 June 2024.[1] The results of the election were announced on 4 June 2024, leading to the formation of the 18th Lok Sabha. The union council of ministers was sworn in along with the Prime Minister on 9 June 2024. The oath ceremony was arranged in the forecourt of Rashtrapati Bhavan at Raisina Hill. This ministry marks the second-largest Union Council of Ministers in Indian history, after the Third Vajpayee ministry.
