Traffic congestion amid India AI Impact Summit 2026
According to media reports, commuters in the national capital reported traffic congestion on Monday due to security arrangements and diversions put in place for the India AI Impact Summit.
This came despite an advance advisory issued by the Delhi Traffic Police. According to a report by the Hindustan Times, officials have credited the traffic congestion to VIP movement and route restrictions for AI Impact Summit 2026 at Bharat Mandapam. Moreover, there was also a rush of the wedding season and students going for board exams.
“Delhi has become Bangalore,” a social media user wrote on X. Several others also shared images of traffic snarls and posted updates about the situation online.

Delhi traffic police also issued an advisory on Sunday in view of the Summit and board exams of class 10 and 12, which begin today.
In the advisory, the authorities shared details of the routes, restrictions, and more. In the post shared by Delhi traffic police on X, an advisory for school students was also included.
According to the advisory, the traffic police shared the names of ten schools that fall on the main routes of VVIP movement, where board exams will be held.
