New Delhi is preparing to host the 18th BRICS Summit, with leaders and delegations expected to arrive ahead of the two-day meeting on September 12 and 13. In this video, Firstpost examines the surge in demand for luxury hotel rooms, with some properties reportedly charging more than thousands of dollars for a single night and others fully booked. The video also covers diplomatic hotel bookings, security-related room restrictions, traffic rehearsals, food-safety inspections and wider preparations across the capital. It also looks at the shortage of branded hotel rooms in India, with the country estimated to have around 200,000 to 220,000 rooms, and how major international events can intensify demand in Delhi.
