Delhi Traffic Advisory: BRICS Summit 2026 Routes Guide

CRITICAL COMMUTER ALERT Is Your Route Locked Down for the 18th BRICS Summit? From September 11 to 13, 2026, New Delhi activates one of the tightest multi-agency security grids ever assembled at Bharat Mandapam. Over 35 major arteries face dynamic closures, leaving unprepared drivers facing gridlock. The 18th BRICS Summit at Bharat Mandapam necessitates unprecedented traffic diversions across New Delhi.
