Traffic curbs and route diversions will be enforced across Delhi from February 16 to 20 for the India AI Impact Summit 2026 at Bharat Mandapam, where several heads of state, ministers and international delegates are expected to attend.

According to the Delhi Police, elaborate traffic arrangements have been put in place to ensure security, smooth movement of VIP convoys and minimal inconvenience to the public. The restrictions will be most stringent in the New Delhi district and adjoining areas.

Authorities said essential services will continue to operate without disruption, and ambulances and medical emergency vehicles will be given priority passage across the city. Movement for the general public will be facilitated through designated alternate routes.

Motorists have been advised to avoid several major stretches that fall along summit routes and security zones. These include Mathura Road (Subramania Bharti Marg T-Point to Lodhi Road flyover), Subramania Bharti Marg, Rajesh Pilot Marg, Tees January Marg, Akbar Road, Teen Murti Marg, Mother Teresa Crescent, Sardar Patel Marg, Janpath, Firoz Shah Road, Shanti Path, Satya Marg, Africa Avenue (Bikaji Cama Place to Yashwant Place), Kamal Ataturk Marg, APJ Abdul Kalam Road, Dr Zakir Hussain Marg, Ashoka Road, Prithviraj Road, Kautilya Marg, Tilak Marg, Bhagwan Das Road, Kartavya Path, Sansad Marg, Outer Circle Connaught Place, Baba Kharak Singh Marg and Lodhi Road, among others.

Key corridors, including Ring Road between Brar Square and AIIMS, NH-48 from Rangpuri to Dhaula Kuan, Rao Tula Ram Marg, Aurobindo Marg (AIIMS U-turn stretch), and routes around Connaught Place, will also face diversions and movement controls.

General vehicular entry will not be allowed during convoy movement on Bhairon Marg (excluding the Ring Road T-point) and Mathura Road between Subramania Bharti Marg and Dr Dinesh Nandini Dalmia Chowk. Non-destined vehicles will be diverted towards the Eastern and Western Peripheral Expressways and other alternative routes and will not be allowed to enter Delhi during regulated hours.

Passengers travelling to the airport and railway stations will be permitted to travel but are advised to plan journeys in advance, use alternative routes, and allow extra travel time.

The Delhi Police have urged residents to use public transport, especially the Delhi Metro, park vehicles only in designated areas, plan travel in advance, follow directions of traffic personnel and maintain road discipline, and report suspicious objects or persons to police immediately.
