Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to host a specially curated, allergen-free lunch for global leaders attending the India AI Impact Summit 2026 at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi.

The event will also feature an address by the Secretary-General of the United Nations, alongside senior industry leaders from across the globe.
Amid this packed high-profile schedule, the visiting dignitaries will sit down for a private lunch hosted by the Prime Minister.
Lunch Menu Designed For Inclusivity and Global Sensitivities
The lunch menu stands out for its "all allergen-free" approach - prepared without milk, wheat, or nuts. The carefully designed spread signals both inclusivity and risk management, essential when hosting international delegates with diverse dietary restrictions.
At the same time, the menu highlights India's rich culinary heritage. Entirely vegetarian, it uses ingredients such as millets, lentils, lotus stem, basmati rice, and saffron, celebrating regional Indian flavours while staying aligned with healthy, sustainable eating.
The menu also mentions calories per 100g, making it easier to understand nutritional values.
