Delhi Police have established a comprehensive traffic management plan, including 22 diversion points, to regulate vehicular movement during the BRICS Summit 2026 in New Delhi. The measures aim to facilitate the smooth transit of delegates between the airport, hotels, and the Bharat Mandapam.
The BRICS business forum is already underway, with the main summit program scheduled to begin on September 12. Leaders are expected to focus on initiatives under India’s presidency and on strengthening strategic partnerships within BRICS.
Additional Commissioner of Police (Traffic) Dinesh Kumar Gupta stated that the traffic arrangements were finalized to accommodate the expected movements throughout the summit. “The BRICS Summit has begun today. There will be movements from the airport to the hotel and from the hotel to the Bharat Mandapam. Accordingly, our traffic arrangement plan is ready,” he said.
Traffic diversions will be implemented at the 22 designated points to manage both summit convoys and public traffic. “We have 22 diversion points, from which we will divert the public. For the public, we have issued our advisory on social media,” Gupta added.
Commuters have been urged to consult the traffic advisory before commencing their journeys and to plan routes accordingly. “Our appeal to the public is that people should plan their journey only after viewing the traffic advisory,” he said.
The arrangements seek to ensure the smooth movement of BRICS delegates while minimizing inconvenience to the general public. India’s chairmanship of BRICS emphasizes enhancing international cooperation in areas including trade, digital technology, finance, energy security, and global governance reform.
The summit is expected to address resilient global supply chains, cross-border payment integration, increased use of national currencies, MSME development, digital trade, and artificial intelligence. It will also focus on energy security, climate resilience, development finance, the expansion of the New Development Bank, and reforms of multilateral financial and political institutions.
