India Prepares 168-Athlete Team for 2026 Asian Para Games in Aichi-Nagoya
India is set to compete with a 168-member contingent across 11 disciplines at the 2026 Asian Para Games in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan, aiming to build on its record 111-medal haul from 2023. The government has supported athletes through training camps, international exposure, and funding schemes like TOPS and ACTC. Despite a reduced team size from 303 in 2023 due to tighter quotas and event changes, India’s campaign features prominent athletes such as Sumit Antil and Sheetal Devi, with hopes for strong performances across para-athletics, archery, badminton, and other sports.
