On 26 January 2024 in the nation's capital, the Republic Day parade will feature motorcycle contingents, bands, and all-women marching contingents, all displayed by the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs). These CAPFs will each have 144 members in their marching contingents and 72 in their band teams. Before various Indian Air Force (IAF) assets in the sky take center stage, the combined daredevil bikers team, made up of women personnel from CAPFs such as the Border Security Force (BSF), the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), and the Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB), will ride 350 CC Royal Enfield Bullets through the parade route.

The annual parade, which showcases India's military might and cultural diversity, will include women marching and band teams from the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP), Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), the SSB, and the BSF as part of CAPF contingents. The parade will travel down the Raisina Hills citadel to the 17th-century Red Fort via the India Gate.
