Following the ceremony, BJP President JP Nadda is expected to host a dinner for all NDA leaders and party officials.

Dignitaries and special invitees from India’s neighbouring countries and the Indian Ocean Region will attend the ceremony. Leaders from Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan, Maldives, and Mauritius are confirmed attendees.
Among those who have accepted invitations are Sri Lanka President Ranil Wickremesinghe, Maldives President Mohamed Muizzu, Seychelles Vice-President Ahmed Afif, Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, Mauritius Prime Minister Pravind Kumar Jugnauth, Nepal Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’, and Bhutan Prime Minister Tshering Tobgay.
