Paris Paralympics 2024, Day 8
Aiming to secure medals in every event they compete in, the Indian contingent made significant gains on Day 7 of the Paris 2024 Paralympics, adding four medals—including two golds—to the nation's tally, which now stands at 24.
Devendra Jhajharia, the chief of the Paralympic Committee of India (PCI) and a celebrated Paralympian himself had stated 25 medals for the nation before the Games. With the 84-strong Indian team now just one medal short of this target, the prospect of achieving it is within reach.

On the eighth day, Indian athletes will compete in para shooting, para judo, para archery, para-athletics, and para powerlifting.
