India racked up 26 medals, 7 golds, on Thursday's final day of the Asian Para Games, propelling the nation back to fourth in the medal table.
Sheetal Devi, 19, reigned supreme, snatching two golds in under two hours. She first teamed with Toman Kumar, edging Indonesia's duo 151‑148, then closed the individual contest beating Singapore's Alim Nur Syahidah 142‑139—her second straight triumph from Hangzhou.
The day also saw Suvarna Raj lift gold in women's F54 discus with a 15.66‑metre throw, Dilip Gavit claiming his second 400m T47 title in 48.27 seconds, and Solairaj Dharmaraj setting an Asian record of 7.15m in the long‑jump T44/T62/T64.
With the haul, India’s overall tally climbs to 88 medals—21 gold, 26 silver, 41 bronze—securing fourth place ahead of South Korea and within striking distance of China’s 313‑medal lead.
The next target: a showdown with China on the final day—will India keep the momentum or will the hosts dominate?
