Shuttle services will transport guests from these parking areas to Gate No. 4 of Bharat Mandapam, ensuring smooth transit to the main venue.
Within the Bharat Mandapam complex, delegates can take advantage of designated golf carts for easy navigation between venues. Outside the campus, shuttle services will facilitate movement between gates 4, 7, and 10, promoting convenience for all attendees.
Guidelines for Sushma Swaraj Bhawan
Access to the Sushma Swaraj Bhawan will also be streamlined for registered delegates. Entry from Gate No. 2 is designated for pedestrians, metro users, and those arriving via self-driven vehicles. As with Bharat Mandapam, public transport is highly recommended due to limited parking availability.
