Mumbai will observe three dry days in January 2026, prohibiting alcohol sales in liquor shops, bars, pubs, and restaurants. These restrictions are in place for Makar Sankranti on January 14, Republic Day on January 26, and Shaheed Diwas on January 30. The state excise rules mandate these closures, with violations potentially leading to fines or legal action. While alcohol purchase is banned, possession of previously bought alcohol is generally permitted.
