The Delhi Traffic Police announced a detailed traffic advisory in anticipation of the Motor Carcade rehearsal for the BRICS Summit 2026. This rehearsal is set to take place on September 6, 2026, from 9:00 AM to 10:00 PM. The advisory aims to inform citizens about the traffic diversions and regulated movement expected across major routes in the capital during this period.

In their communication, the Delhi Traffic Police stated that such measures are necessary to ensure smooth preparations for the forthcoming summit. Commuters who plan to travel during these hours are encouraged to allow additional time for their journeys and to consider public transportation, especially the Metro, wherever possible.

Emergency and essential service vehicles will have priority passage amidst these changes. The information regarding traffic restrictions has been disseminated via social media platforms and official notices to reach as many road users as possible.

Additional Traffic Measures Already in Place

Prior to the rehearsal, the Delhi Traffic Police had implemented other traffic restrictions on September 5, 2026. These regulations were in effect from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM in preparation for the anticipated movements during the Motor Carcade rehearsal.

The police reiterated the necessity of these traffic diversions, urging commuters to remain aware of potential delays. Authorities have suggested that people minimise non-essential travel through affected routes to ease congestion on the city’s roads during the rehearsal period.

In their advisory, the Delhi Traffic Police highlighted that adhering to designated diversion routes is vital. Traffic personnel will be present to assist and guide road users, helping to maintain order amid the adjustments.

India to Host the 18th BRICS Summit

As the current Chair of BRICS, India is preparing to host the 18th BRICS Summit at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi on September 12-13, 2026. The summit will feature participation from leaders of BRICS member nations and partner countries, along with other invited outreach countries.

This significant international event demands extensive and coordinated security and traffic management efforts across the city. The rehearsal for the motorcade is a crucial component of the overall arrangements to ensure the safety and efficiency of the summit proceedings.

With the influx of distinguished delegates expected, the Delhi authorities are keen to ensure seamless logistics for the duration of the summit. The implementation of traffic restrictions during rehearsals is part of a broader strategy to manage the unprecedented demands that will arise during this high-profile event.
