Femina Miss India 2026 will be the 61st edition of the Femina Miss India pageant. The competition is scheduled to be held in April 2026. A total of 30 contestants are expected to participate, representing the 29 states of India, including the National Capital Territory of Delhi, along with one combined representative for the Union Territories.

Contents

This edition marks the second occurrence of the pageant following a non-consecutive scheduling format, after a previous interruption in its annual continuity. A similar scheduling gap last occurred in 2021.

Format

For the first time in the history of the pageant, Femina Miss India granted state-level franchises to multiple states to independently organize their respective state competitions. Winners of these state pageants will advance to represent their states at the national competition.

In addition to the state franchise format, the traditional zonal audition system will continue to be implemented in regions where independent state pageants are not conducted. Contestants from those states will participate in zonal auditions, after which shortlisted candidates will be selected. The final representatives from these zones will be announced during a zonal crowning ceremony.
