Wrestler Reetika Hooda has been removed from the Target Olympic Podium Scheme (TOPS) core group following a failed dope test. In contrast, compound archers like Parneet Kaur and Abhishek Verma have been promoted to the core group, and decathlete Tejaswin Shanker added to the developmental list. The updated TOPS list reflects recent performances, with the core group now comprising 118 athletes, including para-athletes. Simran, a Paralympics bronze winner, remains in the core group despite her guide's doping violation.
