Ahmedabad issues traffic advisory ahead of T20 World Cup final at Narendra Modi Stadium

Traffic authorities in Ahmedabad have issued an advisory ahead of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 final, scheduled to be played at the Narendra Modi Stadium.

With a large crowd expected for the match, traffic movement on several key routes around the stadium will be restricted or diverted, according to the Ahmedabad City Traffic Police. Officials said vehicles travelling through roads near the stadium will face restrictions during the event, and commuters have been advised to plan their journeys in advance and follow designated diversion routes.

Roads closed for traffic

The stretch from Janpath T-junction to Motera Stadium Main Gate via Krupa Residency T-junction up to Motera Gam T-junction will remain closed for vehicle movement in both directions during the match. Authorities have urged motorists to avoid this route and use alternate roads to prevent congestion near the stadium area.

Alternative routes

Vehicles travelling from Tapovan Circle towards ONGC Crossroads via Janpath T-junction should use internal roads before the restriction point and proceed through alternative routes suggested by traffic officials. Similarly, vehicles approaching from Krupa Residency T-junction should take the left connector road and continue via the designated diversion route.

Movement restrictions

Police have also imposed curfew-like restrictions in certain areas under Section 33 of the Gujarat Police Act, 1951 within the jurisdiction of the Ahmedabad City Police Commissionerate. The restrictions will remain in force on March 8 from 10:00 am until midnight, and continue from 12:00 midnight to 2:00 am on March 9.

Authorities warned that violations of these orders will attract legal action under Section 223 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 and Section 131 of the Gujarat Police Act. Police personnel have been authorised to register offences and take action against violators.
