Delhi Traffic Police has issued a traffic advisory for the 45th India International Trade Fair, warning of congestion on key roads around Bharat Mandapam from November 14 to 27 and setting out entry gates, parking facilities and 25 designated pickup points for visitors.
The advisory covers Mathura Road, Bhairon Marg, Ring Road, Sher Shah Road, Purana Qila Road, Bhagwan Das Road and Tilak Marg. The traffic police has advised people who are not attending the fair to avoid these routes or use alternative roads during the event.
Business visitors will be allowed to enter between November 14 and 18 from 9.30 am to 7.30 pm through gates 3, 4, 6 and 10. Tickets will be available online and at metro stations, except Supreme Court Metro Station. The police has advised visitors to plan their journeys in advance and use the Supreme Court Metro Station, which is the closest metro station to the venue.
Visitors arriving on foot will be able to enter through gates 1, 4, 6 and 10. Exit will be permitted through gates 1, 4, 7, 9 and 10. For people travelling by cab or auto-rickshaw, 25 pickup points have been designated on both sides of Bhairon Marg.
The traffic advisory directs passengers to board vehicles only at the designated pickup locations and follow instructions from traffic personnel. Drivers have been told not to wait for passengers or pick them up outside the exit gates of ITPO and Bharat Mandapam. The arrangement is intended to prevent unplanned stopping near the venue, where visitor movement is expected to increase during the fair.
People arriving by private vehicle can use the parking facilities at the ITPO basement, accessed through the Bhairon Marg–Ring Road tunnel; Bhairon Temple parking; or Bharat Mandapam Basement 2, accessed through the Pragati Tunnel and Mathura Road Underpass 4. Parking will not be permitted inside the ITPO premises.
The police has also prohibited stopping or parking on Mathura Road and Bhairon Marg. Vehicles will not be allowed to take a U-turn on Mathura Road between W-Point and Subramania Bharati Marg. A right turn towards Purana Qila Road will also be restricted. These measures are part of the traffic management plan for roads serving the fairground and surrounding central Delhi areas.
The India International Trade Fair will be held at Bharat Mandapam from November 14 to 27. For traffic-related assistance, commuters can contact the Delhi Traffic Police helpline at 1095. The advisory asks visitors to plan their route before travelling and comply with directions issued by traffic personnel during the event.
