Exit polls for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections in Delhi suggest a strong performance by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), with predictions indicating they may secure all seven seats. Various polls, including those by India Today-Axis My India and News 24-Today's Chanakya, project the BJP winning six to seven seats, while the Congress may win up to one seat. The voter turnout recorded by the Election Commission of India was 58.69%, with the highest turnout in North East Delhi at 62.89% and the lowest in New Delhi at 55.43%.

The BJP has fielded six new candidates, retaining only one sitting MP, Manoj Tiwari, to combat potential anti-incumbency. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has criticized the Congress party's diminished presence in Delhi. Exit polls by TV9 Bharatvarsha-Polstrat and Republic Bharat-Matrize also support the projection of a BJP sweep in Delhi, highlighting a close contest in two seats. The final results will be announced on June 4 when the votes are counted.
