India concluded its campaign at the Paris Paralympics 2024 with an impressive haul of 29 medals—seven golds, nine silvers, and 13 bronzes—making it the country’s most successful Paralympic outing to date. India ranked 18th in the overall standings, outperforming nations like Switzerland, Belgium, and South Korea. Pakistan finished joint-bottom at 79th place with only one bronze medal, while China dominated with 208 medals.
Navdeep Singh secured India’s final gold in the men’s javelin throw (F41 classification) after the disqualification of Iran’s Sadegh Beit Sayah. Navdeep’s 47.32m throw was initially a silver but upgraded to gold, marking a significant comeback from his fourth-place finish at the Tokyo Games. Meanwhile, Simran won bronze in the women’s 200m (T12 classification), adding to India’s medal tally from track and field, which accounted for 17 of the 29 medals.
