The Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium in New Delhi has undergone a Rs 20 crore renovation ahead of the BWF World Championships, which returns to India after 17 years. The upgrades follow disruptions caused by pigeons and monkeys during the India Open in January 2025. Organisers have installed double-door entry systems, noise machines, and bird-repellent gel to prevent a repeat of the animal intrusions. A dedicated four-member team of monkey handlers has also been deployed as an additional line of defence. The measures reflect a concerted effort to ensure smooth and uninterrupted play throughout the championships.

Oil marketing companies have already procured large quantities of ethanol for blending purposes. Future decisions regarding petrol blending will be guided by ongoing scientific and technical studies.
