Delhi Traffic Police issues multiple traffic advisories in Delhi ahead of the 2026 BRICS Summit, warning commuters of diversions, regulated traffic flow, and route restrictions on key roads. The police advise people traveling to work and the airport to check affected routes, plan journeys in advance, and allow extra time, with instructions from traffic personnel on the ground.

Across outlets, the advisories repeatedly cite BRICS motorcade rehearsals and summit preparations as the reason for restrictions, often with regulated movement running in set daytime windows. Times of India and NDTV highlight rehearsals with citywide diversions from late morning to mid-afternoon, while Mint and other reports mention additional dates with longer evening curbs and limited access to major corridors. Several outlets also emphasize using Metro or public transport as traffic patterns change, and they point to areas around Bharat Mandapam/Pragati Maidan as particularly impacted.

While the exact dates, time windows, and the number of affected roads vary by advisory, the core message is consistent: motorists should avoid congested or restricted stretches, follow detours and personnel directions, and consider alternative transport options.
