The world’s most populous nation hope to do better than the 107 medals won at Hangzhou in 2023
India have targeted a record medal haul at next year’s Asian Games in Japan as part of a long-term plan to boost their prospects at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
The world’s most populous nation surpassed expectations at Hangzhou in 2023, breaking the 100-medal barrier for the first time to finish fourth behind hosts China, Japan and South Korea.
Powered by their cricketers, shooters and archers, India collected 107 medals at the Covid-delayed event – their best showing to date.
Officials believe they can do even better at the Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya from September 19 to October 4 next year.
