Asian Para Games 2026 India Medal Tally: Gold, Silver and Bronze
The report gives India’s running total on the day it was published. It is a snapshot, not final standings.
| Medal | Count |
|---|---|
| Gold | 7 |
| Silver | 10 |
| Bronze | 13 |
| Total | 30 |
Bronze is the largest column at 13, followed by silver at 10. The report itself names three gold-medal performances from the day: Pranav Soorma, Simran and Deepthi Jeevanji. It does not list the other four gold medallists.
Time context matters here. Akashvani’s earlier report on the morning of 20 October described Deepthi’s win as India’s fifth gold of the Games. The later report puts the total at seven.
Indian Athletes Who Delivered Outstanding Performances
Pranav Soorma Sets an Asian Record
Pranav Soorma won gold in the men’s discus throw F51/52/53 event, scoring 932 points. The report says his 11.66-metre throw set a new Asian record in the F51 event.

Simran won gold in the women’s 200m T12 final, clocking 24.80 seconds, a new Games record. Tejalben Damor took bronze in the same event in 25.23 seconds. T12 is a vision-impairment class, according to World Para Athletics.
Deepthi Jeevanji won the women’s 400m T20 in 56.36 seconds, also a new Games record. Read our full report on Deepthi Jeevanji’s 400m T20 gold. T20 is the class for athletes with an intellectual impairment. Akashvani’s earlier report that day said Japan’s Niina Kanno took silver in that race in 58.92 seconds.

Para Archery: Indian Pairs Advance to Gold Medal Matches
Para archery is where India may add more to the Asian Para Games 2026 India medal tally. The report says three pairs reached their finals and advanced to gold-medal matches:
- Harvinder Singh and Vijay Sundi in the recurve men’s pair.
- Bhawna and Pooja in the recurve women’s pair.
- Sheetal Devi and Payal Nag in the compound women’s pair.
In individual events, Swati Chaudhary became the first Indian woman W1 archer to reach a final, according to the report. Sheetal Devi also advanced to the women’s compound final. The report does not include the results of these matches, so the final colours of those medals are not yet known from this source.
Why These Performances Matter for Indian Para Sports
The breadth of the results stands out. The medals in this report came from six different sports, and three of the standout performances were records. That suggests depth across disciplines.
The bronze count also tells its own story. Thirteen bronze medals, including five in table tennis alone, show Indian athletes reaching podiums consistently.
For young athletes and families, our report on the nationwide sports talent hunt announced by PM Modi explains a new effort to identify promising young players. Registration details had not been released when we reported it.
Readers should keep one caution in mind. The Asian Para Games 2026 India medal tally will change before the Games close on 24 October. The official Aichi-Nagoya 2026 website carries the schedules and results that remain the reference for final standings.
