Delhi is poised to redefine its cultural landscape by potentially opening its heritage monuments for weddings, concerts, and other private events. The Delhi government is actively exploring ways to transform the capital into a "Global Event Hub," with historical sites like Qutub Minar and Purana Qila possibly hosting private events.

The government's plan includes simplifying the process for obtaining event permissions through a digital single-window clearance system. Currently, organizers find the permission process complicated. Minister Kapil Mishra stated that Delhi has 70 to 80 heritage monuments that could be used effectively for cultural and private events. The aim is for Delhi to be known for its creative potential in addition to its political importance.

The monuments being considered include the Mutiny Memorial at Northern Ridge, Dara Shikoh Library Building at Kashmere Gate, Maqbara Paik opposite GTK bus depot, the tomb at Sadhana Enclave, the pavilions (baradari) at Qudsia Garden, Vasant Vihar and Sadhana Enclave, Ghalib Haveli at Ballimaran, Chandni Chowk, and Bara Lao ka Gumbad. Authorities will ensure that events do not damage the sites.

The government intends to promote Delhi's rich heritage sites and luxury hotels through global tourism campaigns to attract international clientele. They are also considering incentives for wedding planners, local artisans, and hospitality services to boost industry participation and improve public transport, safety, and cleanliness around popular wedding spots. Furthermore, they plan to design a comprehensive framework under a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model to firmly position Delhi as a global destination.

With luxury hotels, farmhouses, and banquet halls already present, Delhi aims to compete with destinations known for high-end weddings, such as Udaipur, Goa and Jaipur. The government may offer capital subsidies and marketing support for event organizers, explore GST relaxations and venue rental reforms, and use vacant government land for event spaces.
