India Entered September 27 in 10th Place at Asian Games With 30 Medals
India entered September 27, 2026, in 10th place on the Asian Games medal table with 30 medals: four gold, 12 silver and 14 bronze. The figure is a snapshot of results through September 26 at the Aichi-Nagoya Games. It does not include medals awarded later on September 27 and should not be read as India’s final tally.
A seven-medal day on September 26 gave the standing a substantial lift. Both Indian kabaddi teams won gold, while athletics, shooting and squash supplied the other five medals added that day. Those results brought India from 23 medals to 30 and accounted for half of its four golds in the snapshot.
India’s position at the start of September 27
| Standing | Gold | Silver | Bronze | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10th | 4 | 12 | 14 | 30 |
The rank and medal counts above share the same cutoff: competition completed through September 26. That timing matters because a medal table can change as finals finish, and a country’s position depends on its gold-medal count as well as the number of medals it has collected overall.
Kabaddi delivered two gold medals
India’s women’s and men’s kabaddi teams each defeated Iran in their September 26 finals. The women won 37–34, and the men followed with a 40–34 victory. Their titles doubled India’s gold count for the Games to four and were the biggest single-day boost to its place on the table.
The other two golds in the 30-medal snapshot came earlier in the competition. India’s women won the T20 cricket event, while Kamaljeet and Suruchi Singh took the mixed-team 10m air pistol title. Together with the kabaddi victories, those results explain where each of India’s four gold medals had come from before September 27 began.
Athletics, shooting and squash added to the count
Three of India’s September 26 medals came from athletics. Sawan Barwal earned silver in the men’s marathon in 2:11:37, a national-record performance. Tajinderpal Singh Toor took silver in the men’s shot put, and Prachi Chaudhary won bronze in the women’s 400m. The three results brought India’s athletics contribution to eight medals through September 26: four silver and four bronze.
At the shooting range, Ashi Chouksey, Tilottama Sen and Vidarsa Vinod won silver in the women’s 50m rifle three positions team event. Shooting had supplied 11 of India’s 30 medals by the cutoff—more than any other sport in its tally—with one gold, six silver and four bronze.
Joshna Chinappa and Velavan Senthilkumar supplied the remaining September 26 medal with bronze in squash mixed doubles. Their finish was counted in the 30; places secured in forthcoming finals were not being treated as medals already added to that snapshot.
What the snapshot tells readers
India’s standing was built across more than the previous day’s results. Alongside shooting and athletics, its medals through September 26 included finishes in weightlifting, wushu, badminton, rowing, soft tennis, table tennis and mixed martial arts, as well as the gold in cricket and two in kabaddi. The breadth of those contributions helped bring the total to 30, while the four golds determined where India sat among teams with differing medal totals.
For readers following events on September 27, the key distinction is between medals already recorded and opportunities still to come. India had athletes due to contest further events, including squash and athletics finals, but their outcomes could not be folded into a tally fixed at the end of September 26. India’s position at the start of the day was therefore clear—30 medals and 10th place—while its later standing remained open to change.
