The India–EFTA Prosperity Summit 2026 brings together international business leaders, investors, policymakers, trade organisations and companies from India and the EFTA countries for high-level discussions on trade, investment and economic cooperation.
Scheduled for 1 October 2026 at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi, the summit can bring visitors to the capital from Switzerland, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein, along with Indian business representatives and industry leaders.
For visitors travelling to Delhi for the summit, transportation may involve much more than reaching Bharat Mandapam. Airport arrivals, hotel transfers, summit transportation, business meetings, corporate dinners and return flights may all form part of the same visit.
Audi Rent Delhi provides chauffeur-driven luxury cars for the India–EFTA Prosperity Summit 2026, with transportation planned according to individual executives, international visitors and corporate groups.
India–EFTA Prosperity Summit 2026 – Date & Venue
Event: India–EFTA Prosperity Summit 2026
Date: 1 October 2026
Venue: Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi
EFTA Countries: Switzerland, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein
The summit is expected to focus on areas including trade, investment, manufacturing, services, MSMEs, innovation, policy cooperation, market access and business-to-business engagement.
Why the India–EFTA Summit Matters for Business Visitors
EFTA stands for the European Free Trade Association, comprising Switzerland, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein.
India and the four EFTA countries have a Trade and Economic Partnership Agreement (TEPA), which entered into force on 1 October 2025. The agreement includes an objective of attracting USD 100 billion of investment into India over 15 years and facilitating the creation of one million direct jobs.
The 2026 Prosperity Summit is therefore not simply another large event in Delhi. It marks the first anniversary of TEPA entering into force and is expected to continue conversations around trade, investment and business cooperation.
For visiting companies, this can mean a day involving several different appointments rather than only attendance at the main summit.
Your Summit Journey May Start at Delhi Airport
For many international visitors, the first journey in Delhi will be from Indira Gandhi International Airport.
Depending on the itinerary, a chauffeur-driven car can be arranged from IGI Airport to:
Aerocity
Chanakyapuri
Central Delhi
Connaught Place
South Delhi
Gurgaon
Bharat Mandapam
Hotels across Delhi NCR
Visitors arriving from Europe after a long international flight may prefer to have their airport transportation arranged before landing rather than organising a vehicle after arrival.
Our Luxury Airport Transfer Service in Delhi NCR can be used for both arrival and departure transportation during the summit visit.
Staying in Aerocity, Chanakyapuri or Central Delhi?
Where you stay can have a major impact on your summit transportation.
Aerocity
Convenient for international travellers who want to remain close to IGI Airport, particularly when arriving late or departing early.
Chanakyapuri
A practical area for visitors whose itinerary includes embassies, diplomatic engagements or meetings around New Delhi’s diplomatic district.
Central Delhi
Hotels around Central Delhi can be convenient for Bharat Mandapam as well as meetings around Connaught Place and other central business locations.
Gurgaon
Some corporate visitors may stay in Gurgaon because their summit visit also includes meetings with companies based around Cyber City, Golf Course Road or other Gurgaon business districts.
There is no single location that works best for everyone. The right choice depends on what else you intend to do during your visit.
One Summit Day Can Include Several Important Journeys
A business visitor’s schedule might look something like:
Hotel → Bharat Mandapam → Business Meeting → Corporate Dinner → Hotel
Another visitor may require:
Aerocity → Bharat Mandapam → Connaught Place Meeting → Gurgaon → Hotel
And an international executive may have:
IGI Airport → Hotel → Bharat Mandapam → Investor Meeting → Airport
This is why it helps to share the complete itinerary, rather than simply asking for a car to Bharat Mandapam.
We can then understand whether you require a straightforward transfer or a chauffeur-driven car available for a longer schedule.
Cars for CEOs, Investors & Senior Executives
Transportation arranged for a senior executive can have different requirements from an ordinary point-to-point journey.
Privacy, rear-seat comfort, vehicle condition and a professional chauffeur can become particularly important when the passenger has a full day of meetings.
Popular executive options can include:
Mercedes E-Class, Audi A6 & BMW 5 Series
Suitable for individual executives, corporate representatives and business visitors looking for a comfortable premium sedan.
Mercedes S-Class, Audi A8 & BMW 7 Series
Suitable for CEOs, senior executives, important investors and high-level corporate guests requiring a more premium rear-seat experience.
Audi Q7, BMW X7 & Mercedes GLS
Premium SUVs can work well for executives who prefer SUV-style travel or require additional cabin and luggage space.
Toyota Vellfire
A particularly comfortable option for senior executives and small business groups spending longer periods travelling between meetings.
The right vehicle should be selected according to passenger profile, luggage, itinerary and expected time inside the car, not simply the badge on the bonnet.
Hosting an EFTA Business Visitor in Delhi?
Indian companies expecting business partners from Switzerland, Norway, Iceland or Liechtenstein during the summit can arrange transportation for their guests from arrival to departure.
For example:
IGI Airport → Hotel
Hotel → Bharat Mandapam
Summit → Company Office
Office → Business Dinner
Hotel → IGI Airport
Providing the flight details, hotel and meeting schedule in advance makes it easier to coordinate the journeys around the visitor’s actual programme.
Business Meetings After the Summit
The official 2026 event information specifically highlights bilateral and multilateral B2B meetings and investment facilitation among the summit’s key features.
For some visitors, those conversations may continue outside Bharat Mandapam.
Meetings could take place at:
Corporate offices
Hotels
Embassies and diplomatic locations
Business centres
Restaurants
Investor offices
Industry association offices
If you already know about meetings after the summit, include them when sharing your transportation schedule.
This can help avoid arranging another vehicle every time the destination changes.
Multiple Cars for an International Business Delegation
A company hosting several visitors may not be able to accommodate everyone comfortably in one vehicle.
Different members of the group may also have different arrival times, hotels and meeting schedules.
For example:
Car 1: Senior executive / CEO
Car 2: International business visitors
Car 3: Corporate host or management team
Car 4: Airport arrival or departure requirement
Audi Rent Delhi can coordinate multiple chauffeur-driven luxury cars according to the number of passengers and their individual movements.
For larger groups, sharing a passenger-wise itinerary is usually more useful than simply requesting a fixed number of cars.
Airport Arrivals on Different Flights?
International business groups do not always arrive together.
One executive might arrive from Zurich in the morning, another visitor could reach Delhi later in the day, while Indian team members may already be at the hotel.
In this situation, separate airport pickups can be planned according to individual flight schedules.
When sending an airport requirement, share:
Passenger name
Flight number
Arrival date and time
Terminal
Destination hotel
Number of passengers
Approximate luggage
For international arrivals, it is also sensible to allow for immigration, baggage collection and other airport formalities.
From Bharat Mandapam to Gurgaon for an Evening Meeting?
A summit in Central Delhi does not necessarily mean the entire working day remains in Central Delhi.
Many companies have offices and business interests in Gurgaon and Noida, so an executive may attend the summit at Bharat Mandapam and then travel elsewhere for a private meeting.
If your itinerary includes locations such as:
Cyber City
Golf Course Road
Udyog Vihar
Noida
Noida Expressway
South Delhi
tell us beforehand.
Delhi NCR distances can be substantial, and traffic conditions should be considered when scheduling meetings close together.
Your Car Can Be Part of the Working Day
For a busy executive, time inside the vehicle is not always downtime.
The journey between the hotel, summit and business meetings may provide an opportunity to make calls, answer messages or simply prepare for the next appointment.
This is one reason why rear-seat comfort and choosing the correct vehicle category can matter on a business-heavy itinerary.
If the passenger is likely to spend several hours travelling during the day, choose the car for the entire schedule rather than only for the first 20-minute journey.
Arriving Before 1 October or Staying After the Summit?
Your transportation requirement does not have to be limited to the summit date.
Some international visitors may arrive in Delhi a day or two earlier for meetings, while others may remain after the summit for corporate visits, investment discussions or tourism.
A multi-day schedule might involve:
30 September: Airport → Hotel
1 October: Hotel → Prosperity Summit → Business Dinner → Hotel
2 October: Hotel → Corporate Meetings → Hotel
3 October: Hotel → Airport
If you already know your complete Delhi programme, share it together so transportation can be planned around the overall visit.
Travelling With Colleagues or Additional Luggage?
Passenger count alone does not determine the right vehicle.
Two executives with hand luggage have very different space requirements from three international visitors carrying several large suitcases.
Before selecting the car, consider:
Number of passengers
Number and approximate size of bags
Journey duration
Whether the vehicle is needed all day
Passenger preference for sedan, SUV or MPV
Providing this information beforehand helps avoid choosing a vehicle that looks suitable on paper but is uncomfortable once everyone and their luggage arrive.
Chauffeur-Driven Cars Only
Audi Rent Delhi provides chauffeur-driven luxury car rental only.
We do not offer self-drive cars.
For international visitors unfamiliar with Delhi NCR, a chauffeur-driven arrangement can remove the need to navigate local roads, parking areas and changing destinations during a busy business schedule.
What Should You Send Us Before Booking?
For an India EFTA Summit car rental requirement, send:
Travel date
Pickup location
Hotel name
Number of passengers
Approximate luggage
Preferred vehicle or category
Flight details, if applicable
Summit transportation requirement
Additional meetings or dinner locations
Expected return time
Whether you require one car or multiple vehicles
You don’t need to have every minute finalised before contacting us. The main travel details are enough to begin planning the requirement.
Why Reserve Your Car Before the India–EFTA Prosperity Summit?
International business events can increase demand for premium chauffeur-driven cars, particularly executive sedans, luxury SUVs and vehicles such as the Toyota Vellfire.
Advance booking becomes more important when:
A specific model is preferred
A senior executive is travelling
Several vehicles are required
Multiple airport pickups are involved
The vehicle is required for the complete day
Transportation is being coordinated for overseas visitors
Booking earlier provides more time to match the vehicle and transportation arrangement with the actual itinerary.
