Delhi Police have deployed extensive security measures for the upcoming BRICS Summit, with over 15,000 personnel, 200 Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) companies, and more than 100 National Security Guard (NSG) commandos on duty. Additionally, anti-drone systems and mock drills are in place to ensure the safety of high-profile leaders attending the summit.

The security arrangements, coordinated with national and international agencies, are comparable to those for the 2023 G20 Summit. The summit, which will take place at Bharat Mandapam, brings together leaders from BRICS member and partner countries, including Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, Cyril Ramaphosa, Masoud Pezeshkian, and Abdel Fattah el-Sisi.

Delhi Police has also implemented traffic restrictions and diversions around designated routes for dignitaries, and airspace restrictions will be enforced for flights within a 300-km radius of Delhi from September 11 to 13. Passengers are advised to check flight status, allow extra travel time, and stay updated with Delhi Traffic Police and airport advisories.
