Independence Day Speech 2025: Watching Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Independence Day address live from the Red Fort is a truly memorable experience, so it is best to book your tickets well in advance.
India will celebrate its 79th Independence Day on Friday, 15 August 2025, with the grand annual function at the historic Red Fort in Delhi. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will hoist the Tricolour at 7:30 am and deliver his 12th consecutive Independence Day speech, accompanied by a 21-gun salute and live broadcast across all major platforms.
While millions watch the ceremony on television and YouTube, many prefer to experience the atmosphere in person. If you are planning to attend, you will need to obtain a ticket.
