The surge began with a silver in men’s discus throw – F56 by Yogesh Kathuniya, followed by gold for Nitesh Kumar in men’s singles SL3 badminton. Badminton continued to bring success with four additional medals, including silvers for Thulasimathi Murugesan and Suhas LY and bronzes for Manisha Ramadass and Nithya Sre Sumathy Sivam.

The athletics events continued to deliver medals, with Sumit Antil winning gold in the men’s javelin throw – F64 and the archers securing a bronze in the mixed team compound open event. On Day 6, India experienced another surge in medals with five podium finishes in athletics, including a gold-silver finish for Dharambir and Pranav Soorma in the men’s club throw – F51. Archer Harvinder Singh also made history by winning India’s first archery gold at the Paralympics.

India’s Historic Medal Haul

India set a new record by winning its 25th medal with a bronze in men’s -60kg J1 judo by Kapil Parmar.
