Parvesh Sahib Singh Verma (Hindi pronunciation: [/pərˈveɪʃ ˈsahɪb sɪŋ ˈvərmə/]) (born 7 November 1977) is an Indian politician currently serving as a cabinet minister in the Delhi Government. He is also the elected member of the Delhi Legislative Assembly from the New Delhi Assembly constituency, having defeated Aam Aadmi Party's convenor and former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in the 2025 election.
Before entering the Delhi Assembly, Verma served two consecutive terms as a Member of Parliament in the Lok Sabha, representing the West Delhi seat from 2014 to 2024. He won the 2014 general election with the highest victory margin among all Delhi candidates, and in 2019 secured the sixth-highest margin in the entire country—also the largest in Delhi's electoral history.
Verma's political journey began in 2013 when he contested and won the Mehrauli Assembly seat, defeating then–Delhi Assembly Speaker and former Cabinet Minister Yoganand Shastri. He is the son of former Delhi Chief Minister Sahib Singh Verma.
