Wrestler Reetika Hooda has been removed from the Target Olympic Podium Scheme (TOPS) core group after failing a dope test. In contrast, compound archers like Parneet Kaur and Abhishek Verma have been promoted to the core group, reflecting their recent performances. Decathlete Tejaswin Shanker is now in the developmental list. The updated TOPS list, reflecting the past year's performance, now includes 118 athletes, with a notable upgrade for compound archers in anticipation of their discipline's inclusion in the 2028 Olympics.
