The 12th World Para Athletics Championships 2025, held from September 26 to October 5 at New Delhi’s Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, concluded with India scripting a landmark chapter in its para sports history.

Competing on home soil for the first time, the Indian contingent finished with a record 22 medals—6 gold, 9 silver and 7 bronze—surpassing the nation’s previous best of 17 medals from the 2024 edition in Kobe, Japan.

The hosts also produced three championship records, seven Asian records, and more than 30 personal bests, reflecting steady improvement across the board.
