Record-Breaking Campaign

India's impressive total of 114 medals surpassed its previous record of 108, which included 27 gold, 32 silver, and 49 bronze medals. Although the country initially won 111 medals at the last edition, three were later stripped due to doping violations. The performance at Aichi-Nagoya exceeded expectations, especially considering the smaller contingent of 168 para-athletes compared to 309 at the previous Games.
