India crossed the 20-gold mark at the Asian Para Games 2026 on Thursday, October 22, in a day of competition led by Dilip Gavit, according to India Today. The outlet reported the milestone as part of its live coverage of the Games.
India's golds on the day also came on the track. Anjanaben Bumbadiya won the women's 400m T47 final, a result carried by The Hindu, Rediff and The Times of India. Jayanti Behera took silver in the same race, with The Hindu and Udayavani both reporting the one-two finish for India.
Rediff separately reported that Tejalben Damor claimed silver at the Games, though the summary did not specify her event.
The day's results add to India's medal collection at the multi-sport event for athletes with disabilities, where the country's gold count has now moved past 20. Thursday's haul was spread across athletics finals, with the women's 400m T47 delivering two medals in a single race.
The Asian Para Games bring together para athletes from across the continent, and India's performance on October 22 placed it among the prominent medal-winning nations on the day's schedule, per India Today's running coverage.
Further finals are expected as the Games continue, and India's position on the gold medal table will be the number to track in the coming days.
