The 2024 edition of Paralympics kicked off on August 29 in the French capital city of Paris with a grand ceremony. Indian contingent consisting of 84 para-athletes competed in 12 sporting disciplines, recording their best-ever medal finishes at the Games. The Indian contingent finished at 18th place in the overall medal tally with record seven gold medals, along with nine silver and 13 bronze medals. They bettered their tally of the previous edition, where India finished at the 24th spot with five gold, eight silver and six bronze medals.
The Indian contingent delivered an average performance at the recently-concluded Olympics 2024, where the 117-member contingent could manage to bag only six medals with bronze and one silver. With several para-badminton and para-shooting stars participating in Paris this year, India will aim to make up for a forgettable Olympics 2024 campaign.
