The Delhi government announced a one‑day public holiday on September 4, 2026 to coincide with the opening of the BRICS summit hosted in the capital.
The administration of the National Capital Territory of Delhi issued an official notification on Monday declaring September 4, 2026 a public holiday. The decision aligns with the commencement of the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) summit, which will be held in Delhi for the first time.
The holiday applies to all government offices, schools, and most private sector establishments in the city. Authorities have advised commuters to plan travel accordingly as public transport services will operate on a reduced schedule.
Officials said the move is intended to facilitate smooth security arrangements and allow citizens to participate in or observe the summit‑related events without disruption to regular work routines.
The BRICS summit, scheduled to run from September 4 to September 7, will bring together heads of state and business leaders to discuss cooperation in trade, technology, and climate action. Delhi's preparation includes heightened security, traffic management, and cultural programs for visitors.
The holiday notice was posted on the Delhi government's website and communicated through local media, with the expectation that the public will adhere to the schedule.
