2027 Public Holidays
India Public Holidays 2027 — Confirmed Dates
India's five fixed-date national holidays for 2027, with day of the week — these are certain, since they don't depend on the lunar calendar. Looking for religious festivals like Diwali or Holi in 2027? See our 2027 festival estimates.
New Year's Day
Falls right before the weekend — a natural 3-day break (Fri–Sun).
Republic Day
Bridge Monday, Jan 25 with one day of leave for a 4-day weekend (Sat–Tue).
Independence Day
Falls on a Sunday — no extra day off unless your employer grants a compensatory holiday.
Gandhi Jayanti
Falls on a Saturday; take Friday, Oct 1 off for a 3-day weekend.
Christmas Day
Falls on a Saturday; take Friday, Dec 24 off for a 3-day weekend.
Planning long weekends around 2027
Republic Day 2027 falls on a Tuesday — taking the Monday before as leave turns it into a four-day break. Gandhi Jayanti and Christmas both fall on Saturdays, so a Friday leave either side stretches them into three-day weekends. Independence Day lands on a Sunday, so it won't add an extra day off on its own.
What's missing from this list
Most of India's festivals — Holi, Diwali, Eid, Ganesh Chaturthi and dozens more — are set by the lunar calendar and haven't been calculated for 2027 yet. We'll publish confirmed 2027 festival dates as Panchang sources release them; in the meantime see our early estimates or the confirmed 2026 holiday list.
