It is one of 70 Vidhan Sabha constituencies of the Delhi National Capital Territory in northern India.

Palam is listed in the Ain-i-Akbari as a pargana under Delhi sarkar, producing a revenue of 5,726,787 dams for the imperial treasury and supplying a force of 1000 infantry and 70 cavalry.

Palam lies in the South Delhi Lok Sabha constituency[8] from where Ramesh Bidhuri from BJP is the MP.
