Bodyguard Hire in Delhi

PSARA-licensed close protection officers in Delhi. Vetted CPO cover for corporate executives and diplomatic principals in India's national capital.

Delhi is India’s national capital, home to the highest concentration of government ministries, diplomatic missions, and corporate headquarters of any Indian city. FCDO (April 2026) rates the terrorism threat as very likely across India, with Delhi as a recognised primary target given its political and symbolic significance. PSARA-licensed operators under the NCT Delhi framework are the appropriate partner for CPO engagements. Female executive protection incorporates specific protocol adjustments consistent with FCDO’s specific advisory on sexual assault risk in India.

Satellite phone and GPS device restrictions under Indian telecommunications law are a practical equipment consideration that CPO teams must verify before travel. The Aerocity hotel cluster adjacent to IGI Airport provides operationally efficient accommodation for most corporate Delhi itineraries.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

The Private Security Agencies (Regulation) Act, 2005 requires security agencies operating in Delhi to hold a PSARA licence from the Government of the NCT of Delhi. Individual officers are trained and registered under the PSARA framework. Request the operator’s PSARA licence number and verify current validity before engagement. The Delhi government administers PSARA at the NCT level. Officers on duty carry registration documentation that must be available on request.

FCDO (April 2026) rates the terrorism threat as very likely across India. Delhi, as the national capital, is a recognised high-priority target. Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed have historic operational reach into the capital. The threat is elevated around national days (Republic Day, Independence Day). For most corporate visitors, the relevant operational response is terrorism-aware hotel selection, route planning that avoids known high-footfall target types, and maintained situational awareness. CPO cover addresses these risks as part of a structured pre-engagement threat assessment.

Based on FCDO and OSAC Delhi reporting, the highest-risk elements of a Delhi corporate itinerary are: the IGI Airport arrival transfer; predictable routine movements between known hotel addresses and government or corporate offices; attendance at crowded public events or markets; and any engagement in Lutyens Delhi near government buildings during elevated-alert periods around national days. For female principals, additional protocols apply throughout the entire itinerary given FCDO’s specific advisory on sexual assault risk.

Delhi’s diplomatic and government district in Lutyens Delhi requires advance coordination for vehicle access to certain areas, particularly near the Rashtrapati Bhavan, South Block, and Ministry of External Affairs. For high-level bilateral meetings involving foreign government officials, the CPO team coordinates with the Indian state security element present, which may include SPG, NSG (National Security Guard), or Delhi Police protocol. The CPO’s role is to manage the transition between the Indian state security environment and the principal’s own team’s protocols.
