India’s Asian Games 2026 Campaign: Latest Medal Tally and Highlights
India’s journey at the Asian Games 2026 has continued with strong performances across several sporting disciplines. The continental multi-sport event, being held in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan, has brought together athletes from across Asia, with Indian competitors fighting for medals in shooting, wushu, rowing, athletics and team sports.
As the competition progressed, India’s medal tally reached 15 medals, including one gold, six silver and eight bronze medals in the latest Day 5 update. Indian athletes have produced podium finishes while several teams have also progressed to important stages of their respective competitions.
Wushu Brings Another Medal for India
Wushu was one of the sports that added to India's medal collection. Indian athlete Naorem Roshibina Devi secured a silver medal in the women's 60kg sanda category.
Roshibina competed against China's Zhang Xiaoyu in the final. Although she finished with silver after a 0-2 defeat, her performance gave India another podium finish in wushu.
Her result also added to India's growing presence in combat sports at the Asian Games.
Bronze Medal in Rowing
India also celebrated a notable result in rowing.
The Indian duo completed the race in 6:13.25, finishing behind the leading crews. Their performance provided another medal for India's campaign and highlighted the country's progress in rowing at the continental level.
Shooting Remains an Important Medal Sport
Indian shooters continued to contribute to the country's medal tally. Parinaaz Dhaliwal and Anantjeet Singh Naruka won bronze in the mixed-team skeet competition.
Shooting has traditionally been an important medal-producing discipline for India at major international competitions, and the performances in Aichi-Nagoya have once again placed the sport in focus.
The men's 10m air pistol team, however, finished fourth after narrowly missing out on a podium position.
Indian Hockey Team Records a Big Win
India's men's hockey team also produced an impressive performance during the tournament. The team registered an 8-2 victory over South Korea, strengthening its position in the competition.
With hockey being one of India's major team sports, results in the group and knockout stages will remain important as the tournament moves forward.
Kabaddi Team Advances
Kabaddi also provided positive news for the Indian contingent. The Indian men's team defeated Chinese Taipei to book its place in the semi-finals.
Reaching the last four gives India another opportunity to secure a medal in the team event. The upcoming matches will determine India's final position in the competition.
Athletics Adds to India’s Medal Count
Athletics contributed further to India's medal tally. Seema won bronze in the women's 10,000m event, adding another medal from the track and field programme.
These results underline the variety of disciplines in which Indian athletes are competing for honours at the Games.
What Lies Ahead for India?
India's Asian Games campaign is still underway, meaning the medal tally can change as more events are completed. Athletes from different disciplines will continue competing in qualification rounds, finals and knockout matches.
The ongoing competition also gives younger Indian athletes an opportunity to gain experience at one of Asia's biggest sporting events.
With events continuing until October 4, 2026, Indian fans will be following the performances of the country's athletes closely. The coming days are expected to bring more medal events and important results as the Indian contingent continues its campaign in Aichi-Nagoya.
Conclusion
India's Asian Games 2026 campaign has featured medal-winning performances in sports such as wushu, rowing, shooting and athletics, while hockey and kabaddi have produced important team results. With several events still remaining, India's athletes have more opportunities to add to the country's medal tally before the Games conclude.
