Ghatal Lok Sabha constituency is one of the 543 constituencies of the lower house of parliament in India. The constituency is based on Ghatal in West Bengal. While six assembly segments of No. 32 Ghatal Lok Sabha constituency are in Paschim Medinipur district, one segment is in Purba Medinipur district. As per the order of the Delimitation Commission in respect of the delimitation of constituencies in the West Bengal, Panskura Lok Sabha constituency ceased to exist; and a new Ghatal Lok Sabha constituency came into being.[2] The Ghatal constituency existed earlier from 1951 to 1977.
