There will be a lot of changes when Central Vista opens. It has been decided to postpone the drone display that was scheduled to take place in front of the prime minister at that time. Special preparations have been made for this show to run for the following three days.

People will be able to be picked up and dropped off during this time, and battery-operated buses will be operating. Vendor-specific zones have been established. At India Gate and along the entire Kartavya path, parking spaces have been set aside for 1175 automobiles. Additionally, new high-mask lighting and 360-degree CCTV cameras have been set up.
