"These were live, country-made bombs ... but not of high intensity," a crime branch official told media, asking not to be named.
"One person has been arrested in connection with this," he added. Police did not directly link the bombs to the celebrations, but the city was on high alert.
Huge crowds turned out to welcome the team along a 30-km from the airport to the Wankhede cricket stadium.
