They were advised to plan their travel schedule with the congestion in mind to avoid delays.

"In view of a major global event scheduled at Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) from 7th to 9th Oct 2025, a large number of attendees are expected, leading to traffic congestion in and around the BKC area.

Modi and Starmer will attend the sixth edition of the fest in Mumbai and deliver keynote addresses. The leaders will also engage with industry experts, policymakers and innovators.

Starmer is set to visit India on Oct. 8-9, 2025. During the visit, on Oct. 9, in Mumbai, both Modi and Starmer will assess the progress in diverse aspects of the India-UK Comprehensive Strategic Partnership in line with ‘Vision 2035’, a focused and time bound 10-year roadmap of programmes and initiatives in key pillars of trade and investment, technology and innovation, defence and security, climate and energy, health, education and people to people relations.
