Delhi Enforces Peak-Hour Curbs for AI Summit Day 5 as Gridlock Persists

Two peak windows will govern convoy movement for visiting leaders at Bharat Mandapam.

Overview

  • Delhi Traffic Police will regulate movement today from 8–10 am and 5–9 pm around Bharat Mandapam, the airport zone and diplomatic corridors.
  • Key stretches flagged for restrictions include Sardar Patel Marg, Janpath, Akbar Road, Teen Murti Marg, Subramaniam Bharti Marg, and parts of Mathura Road, Bhairon Marg and Shanti Path.
  • Advisories urge use of alternate corridors such as Ring Road, Barapullah Road, Lodhi Road, Aurobindo Marg, Dr APJ Abdul Kalam Road, Panchsheel Marg and San Martin Marg.
  • Despite staggered convoy movements, Thursday brought severe slowdowns across central Delhi, with commuters reporting hours-long delays and frequent diversions.
  • Police report roughly 5,000 traffic personnel deployed for the operation, with restrictions expected to remain in force until the summit concludes.
