Femina Miss India 2026 was the 61st edition of the Femina Miss India pageant. It was held on 18 April 2026 at the Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology campus in Bhubaneswar, Odisha.[1][2] A total of 30 contestants participated, representing the 29 states of India, including the National Capital Territory of Delhi, along with one combined representative for the Union Territories. The complete show is scheduled to air on Zoom TV on 8 May 2026, and will also stream on the ZEE5 and Times Play OTT platforms from the same date.

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.[5]
