India is poised to participate in the Paris 2024 Paralympics with a record-breaking 84 athletes from the country preparing to showcase their skills on the global stage. This marks the largest-ever contingent that India has named for the Paralympics, which are set to take place from August 28 to September 8.

In comparison to the 54 athletes, including 14 women, that India sent to the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics, the number has now increased to 84 for the Paris Paralympics, with 32 women making up the Indian contingent.

India will be venturing into three new sports in this edition - para-cycling, para-rowing, and blind judo - at the Paris Paralympics, expanding the country’s participation to 12 sports. In total, 22 sports will be featured in Paris in 2024.

Notable athletes to watch include Arshad Shaik in the men’s C2 para-cycling events, Jyoti Gaderiya in the women’s C2 events, Kapil Parmar in the men’s 60kg J1 event in blind judo, and Kokila in the women’s 48kg J2 category. Additionally, Anita and K. Narayana will proudly represent India in PR3 mixed doubles sculls in para-rowing.

India achieved unprecedented success at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games, securing a total of 19 medals, including five gold, eight silver, and six bronze. Among the standout athletes was Avani Lekhara, who clinched a gold medal in the women's R2 10m air rifle standing SH1 event, tying the world record in the process. Lekhara will be aiming to replicate her exceptional performance in future competitions.
