India has made significant strides at the Paralympic Games, winning a total of 51 medals, including 12 golds, 19 silvers, and 20 bronzes. Unlike the Summer Olympics, where team sports like hockey have historically dominated, India’s Paralympic success is driven by individual athletes who have brought glory to the nation.
India has competed in 12 editions of the Paralympic Games since 1960, with the 2024 Paris Games being the most successful. Here’s a complete list of Indian athletes who have won medals at the Paralympics.
