Article 84(b) of the Indian Constitution sets the minimum age for contesting Lok Sabha elections at 25 years. For Rajya Sabha, the minimum age is higher at 30 years under Article 84(c). The age of 18 years is the minimum for VOTING in elections (under Article 326), not contesting. 21 years is the minimum age for being a state legislator (MLA) under Article 173.
