India at World Para Athletics Championships 2025: Schedule, results, live streaming details

Sumit Antil, a two-time Paralympic and World champion, will lead the Indian contingent.

For the first time in its history, India will host World Para Athletics Championships 2025, marking a historic first for the nation in para sports. The event will be held at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in New Delhi from September 27 to October 5.

Started with the inaugural edition in 1994 as IPC Athletics World Championships, the event has been taking place every year since 2023.

India has won a total of 45 medals in the championship history, which includes 13 gold, 15 silver, and 17 bronze. The nation’s most successful edition was the 2024 edition, where India won 17 medals (6 gold, 5 silver, 6 bronze).

With the Championships happening on home soil this year, the Indian contingent will be determined to better that tally and achieve the 20-medal mark.
