India recorded its strongest continental performance at the Asian Para Games 2026 in Aichi-Nagoya on Saturday, October 24, finishing with 114 medals as the final events and classification reviews concluded.

India ended the meet in fourth place with 30 gold, 35 silver and 49 bronze, surpassing its previous benchmark of 108 medals from Hangzhou; more than half of the country’s returns came from track and field, while para-badminton contributed 16 medals and para-swimming added 11, alongside multiple titles in shooting and archery.

The Indian contingent retained fourth position despite competition from the Republic of Korea and Iran, finishing behind continental leader China, hosts Japan and Uzbekistan in the final placings reported in the event coverage.

One set of final figures published lists China on top with 427 medals, comprising 204 gold, 115 silver and 108 bronze, with Japan second on 186 and Uzbekistan third on 145; that version also places South Korea on 97 and Iran on 102.

A separate tally in the same report gives China 435 medals (207 gold, 117 silver and 111 bronze) and lists seven nations exceeding the 100-medal mark at Aichi-Nagoya: China (435), Japan (186), Uzbekistan (145), India (114), South Korea (100), Iran (102) and Thailand (125).

India’s 114-medal finish entrenched the contingent in fourth place at the Asian Para Games and made the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Games the nation’s most successful international para-sporting event to date.
