At the 2026 Asian Games in Nagoya, Indian shooter Manu Bhaker qualified third for the women's 10m air pistol final but finished fifth, narrowly missing a medal. Her teammates Esha Singh and Suruchi Singh did not advance, and the women's team missed the bronze by two inner-10 shots, finishing fourth tied with Vietnam. India has secured seven shooting medals so far, including silver and bronze, but gold remains elusive. Meanwhile, Indian skeet teams won bronze medals, adding to the overall shooting tally.
