Delhi Traffic Police has issued a traffic advisory for Sunday, 13 September, as 2 major events are scheduled in Delhi: the BRICS Summit 2026 and an India-Afghanistan T20 cricket match. The overlapping programmes are expected to affect travel planning in different parts of the city.
Traffic regulations will apply in the notified Controlled Area from 8 AM to 8:00 PM. The advisory gives particular emphasis to periods when motorcades are moving, when traffic conditions may change around regulated routes.
BRICS Summit restrictions
The BRICS Summit 2026 is scheduled in New Delhi from 11–13 September 2026. For 13 September, the traffic regulation window listed in the advisory runs from 8 AM to 8:00 PM.
The advisory asks road users to check traffic updates before starting their journey and to keep extra travel time. It also points commuters towards the Metro as a preferred travel option during the period of regulation.
India-Afghanistan T20 match
The India vs Afghanistan T20 cricket match is scheduled from 2:00 PM at Arun Jaitley Stadium. Spectators travelling to the venue have been asked to follow the attached diversion plan and use the designated parking arrangements and notified cab points.
The timing of the match means that match-related movement will take place during the BRICS traffic regulation period. People travelling to the stadium and those crossing affected routes may therefore need to plan separately for the event and for any motorcade-related regulation.
