Despite the cold and heightened security, celebrations across the country continued late into the night, with officials reporting largely peaceful proceedings.
India marked the arrival of the New Year with widespread celebrations across cities and tourist hubs, even as authorities across states implemented heightened security measures to manage large crowds. From hill stations in the north to major metropolitan centres, people gathered for countdown events, parties and public celebrations. Police and civic agencies issued advisories, deployed additional personnel and monitored public spaces closely to ensure that festivities remained orderly amid heavy footfall and winter conditions.

As 2025 drew to a close, popular hill destinations such as Shimla and Manali witnessed heavy tourist inflow despite freezing temperatures. At the same time, metropolitan centres including Delhi and Mumbai saw revellers gather at prominent public spaces such as Connaught Place, India Gate and Marine Drive to welcome the New Year.
