Neeru Dhanda Creates History for India
If one story stands out from India’s campaign so far, it’s Neeru Dhanda in the trap.
She started with the team silver alongside Aashima Ahlawat and Manisha Keer. Then she went out and won the individual final.
Her score was 28 out of 30. According to reports, that is an Asian Games record, and it makes her the first Indian woman to take individual gold in Asian Games trap.
Why Shooting Has Been Important for India
Shooting is doing a lot of the heavy lifting again.
India has medals in air rifle, air pistol, rifle, skeet and trap, both individual and team. That’s a deep squad.
Dhillon, Elavenil Valarivan, Esha Singh, Rudrankksh Patil, Neeru Dhanda and a number of team lineups have all added to the count.
India’s Performance in Athletics
Athletics is the other big contributor.
Gulveer Singh’s two silvers, Sreeshankar’s long jump, Yashvir Singh’s javelin and a run of bronzes put it right up there with shooting.
The medals come from sprints, distance races and field events, so the athletics team has done plenty beyond what shooting and the team sports have given India.
Is India’s Asian Games 2026 Medal Tally Final?
No. India’s medal tally is not final yet.
Reports say India is currently 11th in the Asian Games 2026 medal standings, with 5 gold, 21 silver and 22 bronze medals, taking its total to 48.
The Games in Aichi-Nagoya go on until October 4, 2026, and Indian athletes still have events left in boxing, shooting, archery, squash, hockey and more.
Gold, silver and bronze counts can all change before then.
You may also see different totals on different sites during the day, because results get added as they come in. Some reports earlier on September 29 had India on 47 medals. The Times of India update at 12:17 IST showed 48 medals: 5 gold, 21 silver and 22 bronze after more results were entered.
