Miss Universe India 2025 is the 2nd edition of the Miss Universe India pageant, held on 18 August 2025 in Jaipur, Rajasthan. This edition was organized by the Glamanand Group, the parent organization of Miss Universe India.
At the end of the event, Rhea Singha crowned Manika Vishwakarma as her successor. She will represent India at the 74th Miss Universe Pageant in November 2025 in Thailand.
For the first time, the Miss Universe India pageant will confer multiple international titles to its finalists. Alongside the main title of Miss Universe India, additional titles, including Miss International India, Miss Charm India, Miss Global India, and Miss Tourism World India, will be awarded. Except for Miss Global India, the titleholders will represent India at the 2025 editions of their respective international pageants.
The subcontests for Miss Universe India 2025 commenced on July 26, 2025, in Indore. The first set of finalists from these subcontests was announced through the organization's official social media channels.
The national organization announced the launch of the new edition under state license holders, scheduled to begin in early 2025. Contestants were selected through various state-level competitions, with the winners advancing to the final national event.
Additionally, a final open audition, independent of state-level selections, was held in June in New Delhi, where participants were chosen as wild card entrants for the finals. A separate group of international contestants holding OCI (Overseas Citizen of India) cards participated in online auditions. Those shortlisted were granted NRI entry into the competition.
In early July, NRI finalists Ghazal Gill and Manju Bangalore withdrew from the competition. Gill cited health-related reasons that prevented her from traveling, while Bangalore did not disclose a reason for her withdrawal. On 5 August, wildcard delegates Varshini Murugan and Shivin Ganesan of Tamil Nadu also withdrew for contractual concerns. On 12 August, Andleeb Zaidi Merchant announced her withdrawal in a video statement, citing what she described as a toxic environment. She had previously shared on social media that she was experiencing cyberbullying.
On 15 August, hours before the preliminary competition, Maruschka Sahiboe announced her withdrawal via Instagram. She stated that she had not been given sufficient time to review the contract, and after consulting her lawyer and advisers, was advised against signing. According to her, the contract would have bound her to Glamanand "for years under terms that do not align with [her] values, vision and career direction." Shortly after Sahiboe's announcement, another NRI finalist, Chanchal Kaur, also withdrew, citing contractual concerns similar to those raised by Sahiboe.
