120 Trains Hit as Delhi Braces for BRICS Summit: Rajdhani, Vande Bharat Services Affected
More than 120 train services in the Delhi Division are set to face disruptions from September 11 to 13 as the capital prepares for the BRICS Summit 2026. Several major services, including Rajdhani and Vande Bharat trains, are among those affected. Passengers have been advised to check their train status before leaving for the station.
BRICS Summit 2026 Disrupts Over 120 Train Services
The BRICS Summit 2026 is bringing major security arrangements to Delhi. As foreign leaders and delegations arrive, authorities have planned extensive traffic controls across the capital. These arrangements are also affecting rail passengers travelling through the Delhi Division.
The affected train services may face cancellations, diversions or rescheduling during the three-day period. Railway passengers are therefore being advised to confirm the latest schedule before starting their journey. The disruption is expected to affect both long-distance travellers and daily commuters.
Rajdhani and Vande Bharat Passengers Asked to Plan Ahead
Rajdhani and Vande Bharat services are among the prominent trains affected by the changes. This could create problems for passengers travelling to or from Delhi during the summit period.
Delhi is also expecting heavy road congestion because of VIP movements. More than 35 roads are expected to face restrictions, with 22 diversion points identified by the Delhi Traffic Police. Passengers heading towards major railway stations have been advised to leave early and allow extra travel time.
Check Train Status Before Leaving Home
The railway disruption comes at a time when Delhi is under heightened security for the BRICS Summit. Authorities are managing the movement of international leaders while trying to minimise inconvenience for the public.
Passengers travelling between September 11 and 13 should check their train’s latest status before reaching the station. They should also keep extra time for road travel because traffic restrictions may cause delays. With both rail and road movement affected, advance planning will be important for anyone travelling through Delhi during the summit.
