Hockey remains a marquee event for Indian competition, with both men's and women's teams expected to feature prominently in proceedings.

The shooting contingent will look to capitalise on India's traditional strength in the sport, with athletes competing across rifle and pistol events. Boxing and wushu round out the day's schedule, with Indian pugilists and martial artists aiming to make their mark against continental rivals.

With ten sports on the day's card, Indian athletes will be spread across multiple venues as the Asian Games 2026 enter their full swing. The breadth of competition underscores India's broad participation across Olympic and non-Olympic disciplines at the Games.
