Hi Viewers,
Here you will come to know the process of creation of new point data using Python in QGIS. From this video, we can learn how to create points, Procedure to save the data (file) and program to add the data (file).
Follow the following steps/processes to complete the task:

layer = QgsVectorLayer('Point?crs=EPSG:4326', 'point', 'memory')
provider = layer.dataProvider()
provider.addAttributes([QgsField('Name', QVariant.String)])
provider.addAttributes([QgsField('ID', QVariant.Int)])
layer.updateFields()
f = QgsFeature()
p1 = QgsPointXY(78.25, 14.25)
p2 = QgsPointXY(78.25, 14.50)
p3 = QgsPointXY(78.50, 14.50)
p4 = QgsPointXY(78.50, 14.25)
f.setGeometry(QgsGeometry.fromPointXY(p1))
f.setAttributes(['Lower Left',1])
provider.addFeature(f)
f.setGeometry(QgsGeometry.fromPointXY(p2))
f.setAttributes(['Upper Left',2])
provider.addFeature(f)
f.setGeometry(QgsGeometry.fromPointXY(p3))
f.setAttributes(['Upper Right',3])
provider.addFeature(f)
f.setGeometry(QgsGeometry.fromPointXY(p4))
f.setAttributes(['Lower Right',4])
provider.addFeature(f)
layer.updateExtents()
QgsProject.instance().addMapLayer(layer)
QgsVectorFileWriter.writeAsVectorFormat(layer, "D:/test/testpoint11.shp", "UTF-8", layer.crs(), "ESRI Shapefile")
path = "D:/test/testpoint11.shp"
layerfile = QgsVectorLayer(path, "test point", "ogr")
QgsProject.instance().addMapLayer(layerfile)
