## Archery

As per the qualification system drawn up by the World Archery Federation, each National Olympic Committee (NOC) was permitted to enter a maximum of six competitors, three per gender. NOCs that qualify teams for a particular gender are able to send a three-member team to the team event and also have each member compete in the individual event with the remaining spots filled by individual qualification tournaments. The qualification for the team event was determined by various qualification tournaments and world archery rankings. The Indian men's and women's team qualified for the men's and women's team events respectively as one of the two best ranked teams that had not already qualified in the respective categories.
Dhiraj Bommadevara had secured a place in the men's individual event at the Asian qualifiers in Bangkok and Bhajan Kaur had obtained a quota place for the women's individual event at the World qualifiers held at Antalya. As India qualified for both the team events, India was eligible to send six archers and the individual places were re-allocated to other NOCs. The Indian archery squad for the Games consisted of Bommadevara, Pravin Jadhav, and Tarundeep Rai in the men's team and Kaur, Deepika Kumari, and Ankita Bhakat in the women's team with Rai and Kumari participating in their fourth Olympic Games.
The ranking rounds for the archery events were held at the Les Invalides on 25 July. In the men's individual ranking rounds, Bommadevara was the highest placed Indian in fourth place with 681 points followed by Rai in 14th and Jadhav in 39th. Their combined score resulted in a third seeding for the team event and a direct entry to the quarterfinals. Bhakat was the highest ranked Indian in the women's individual event after she qualified in 11th with 666 points followed by Kaur in 22nd and Kumari in 23rd. Their combined score resulted in a fourth seeding for the team event. Bommadevara and Bhakat combined to be ranked at the fifth spot in the qualification for the mixed team event.

### Men

In the men's team event, the third seeded Indian team lost to the lower seeded Turkey in the quarterfinals. The Indian team lost the first two sets before they won a closely contested third set by a score of 55–54. But the Turkish team won the fourth set easily to win the match and send India out of the competition. In the men's individual events, Jadhav and Rai did not progress beyond the round of 32 after they lost their initial bouts. Bommadevara won his first round match before he lost in the round of 16 to Eric Peters of Canada in a closely contested match, which ended in the Indian losing in a single arrow shoot-off.

## Athletics

As per the governing body World Athletics (WA), a NOC was allowed to enter up to three qualified athletes in each individual event and one qualified relay team if the Olympic Qualifying Standards (OQS) had been met during the qualifying period at the events approved by WA. The remaining places are allocated based on the World Athletics Rankings which were derived from the average of the best five results for an athlete over the designated qualifying period, weighted by the importance of the meet. The qualification window for the marathon races was from 1 November 2022 to 30 April 2024; for the 10,000 metres, combined events (heptathlon and decathlon), racewalks, and relays from 31 December 2022 to 30 June 2024; and for the remaining events on the program from 1 July 2023 to 30 June 2024. Each NOC was allowed five athletes for the relay events as provided by the qualification system.
India achieved six quotas for track events, five for road events, ten for field events apart from two relay teams. Murali Sreeshankar, who had secured a quota for the Men's Long Jump after recording a jump of 8.37m at the 2023 Asian Athletics Championships in Bangkok, withdrew from the games due to an injury. Abha Khatua qualified for the women's shot put event but was left out of the final contingent for unknown reasons. The final Indian contingent for the Games consisted of 28 athletes including 23 track and field athletes competing in 16 disciplines.

## Boxing

The qualification to the Olympic Games were determined by the performances of the boxers at the four continental Olympic qualifying tournaments (Africa, Americas, Asia & Oceania, and Europe) and at the two World Olympic qualification tournaments organised by the Olympic Committee in early 2024.
India qualified six boxers for the tournament. Women boxers Nikhat Zareen, Preeti Pawar, and Lovlina Borgohain qualified for their respective weight divisions by virtue of their finish in the Asian Games 2022. While Parveen Hooda initially qualified for the women's 57 kg category, she was later suspended by the World Anti-Doping Agency due to a failed dope test and her place was taken by Jaismine Lamboria, who qualified by reaching the semi-finals of the 2024 World Boxing Olympic Qualification Tournament 2. Amit Panghal and Nishant Dev secured their quotas for the men's 57 kg and men's 71 kg events respectively, at the same qualification tournament. In the Indian boxing contingent, Panghal and Borgohain competed in their second Olympic Games while the other four made their debuts. Borgohain had won the bronze medal in the women's welterweight competition at the 2020 Games.
The boxing events took place from 27 July to 10 August with the preliminary matches conducted at Arena Paris Nord in Villepinte and the medal rounds scheduled at the Stade Roland Garros. In the men's events, Panghal faced off against higher seeded Patrick Chinyemba of Zambia, whom he had beaten en route to the 2022 Commonwealth Games title. But he lost to the Zambian by a 1–4 split decision. In the men's 71kg event, Dev progressed to the quarterfinals after he won a close first round bout in a 3–2 split decision. In the quarterfinals, Dev started strongly against Marco Verde of Mexico and took the first round 4–1. In the second round, the Mexican was marginally ahead 3–2 but a strong final round in which all the judges ruled in his favor meant that Dev lost by a 1–4 split decision to crash out of the event.

The top 15 players qualified directly with a limit of four golfers per NOC and the remaining spots went to the highest-ranked players from countries that did not already have two golfers qualified, with a limit of two per country.
India qualified four golfers (two men and two women) for the tournament based on the above criteria.

Aditi Ashok and Diksha Dagar ranked 60 and 167 in the rankings qualified at the 25th and 41st positions respectively. This would be Ashok's third Olympics after 2016 and 2020, where she missed out on a medal by a single shot. This was Dagar's second Games entry while both the male golfers made their debuts in the Games.
The men's event was held between 1 and 4 August at Le Golf National in Guyancourt. After the first round, Sharma was placed tied 29th after a score of two under par 70. He scored better in the second round to move up to tied 25th before two par rounds meant that he finished tied 40th in the overall rankings. Bhuller had a bad first round with three over par 75 to be placed tied 52nd. Though he scored better in the next three rounds, he ended with one over par to be placed tied 45th in the final classification.
The women's event was held between 7 and 10 August at Le Golf National. After the first two rounds, Ashok and Dagar were both placed tied 14th after a similar score of one under par. Both the golfers had a poor third round with Ashok scoring a seven over par 79 to drop to tied 40th and Dagar scoring an eight over par 80 to be ranked tied 42nd. Though Aditi recovered with a score of four under par 68 in the fourth round, she finished tied 29th overall with a cumulative score of two over par. Dagar's fourth round did not go well, after she shot a six over par 78 and finished tied 49th on overall standings.

## Sailing

The qualification period for the sailing event commenced at the 2023 Sailing World Championships in The Hague, Netherlands where about forty percent of the total quota was awarded to the top NOCs. Further quota places for Asia were allocated at the 2023 Asian Games, the Asian Olympic qualifier event in Thailand and the Last Chance Regatta in 2024. Seven places were distributed to sailors representing the highest-finishing, not previously qualified NOCs at the 2024 ILCA World Championships.
Indian sailor Vishnu Saravanan qualified one boat for the men's laser event at the World Championships held in Adelaide, Australia. For the Women's laser radial event, Nethra Kumanan was granted an entry as a part of the emerging nations programme at the Last Chance Regetta held in Hyères, France. Both of them competed in their second consecutive Olympic Games after being part of the 2020 Games.
The sailing events were held off the coast of Marseille from 28 July to 8 August. In the men's laser event, Saravanan started well in the first race to finish in the top ten but hovered around the 20th place mark in the next few races. Though he recovered to put in stronger performances in the next two races with a best finish in the seventh race, he ended up in 18th place amongst 43 competitors in the overall classification with 114 points. In the women's event, Kumanan had a strong first two races with the best of sixth place in the first race. But a poor series of three races dropped her down the order from which she never recovered. Though she put in another top ten finish in the final race, she ended up in 21st rank amongst the 43 sailors in the overall classification. Though both of them failed to progress to the medal races, this was the best Olympic performance by both the sailors in their respective categories.

One athlete per event will be allowed to enter if they meet the Olympic Selection Time if the quota is not filled. NOCs were allowed to enter swimmers (one per gender) under a universality place even if no one achieved the standard entry times. India was awarded two universality quota places in swimming. Srihari Nataraj and Dhinidhi Desinghu qualified for the men's 100 m backstroke and women's 200 m freestyle events respectively. Dhinidhi, aged 14, was the youngest Indian competitor in the games.
The swimming events were held at the Paris La Défense Arena. In the men's 100m backstroke event, Nataraj finished 33rd out of the 46 competitors with a time of 55.01 and failed to qualify for the next round. In the women's freestyle event, Desinghu endured a similar fate after she finished in 23rd place amongst the 31 competitors.

## Table tennis

According to the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF), each NOC was allowed to enter up to six athletes, two male and two female athletes in singles events, up to one men's and one women's team in team events, and up to one pair in mixed doubles. Qualification was awarded through a combination of ITTF rankings, continental quotas and world qualification tournaments. NOCs which have qualified for the team events were eligible to field two players each for the singles events. Indian men's and women's team qualified for the games by virtue of their ITTF rankings and as a result, two players automatically qualified for the men's and women's singles events. The Indian squad for the event was announced on 26 May 2024 and consisted of six players across four events. Sharath Kamal made his fifth appearance at the Olympics while Manika Batra competed in her third successive Games.

In the men's singles event, world no. 40 Kamal lost a hard-fought match against the lower ranked Deni Kozul of Slovenia. He won the first set before losing three successive sets and ended with a scoreline of 2–4 to be ousted from the competition. Harmeet Desai won the preliminary round in straight sets before losing to Frenchman Felix Lebrun by a similar score in the round of 64.
In the women's singles event, world no. 28 Batra beat world No. 103 Anna Hursey of Great Britain in the first round and overcame Prithika Pavade of France in the next round. But her campaign ended in the round of 16, when she lost to the higher ranked Olympic medalist Miu Hirano of Japan. The other competitor in the women's singles event Sreeja Akula, ranked 25th in the world, beat world No. 58 Christina Kallberg of Sweden in straight sets in the round of 64. She won against Zeng Jian of Singapore in a comeback victory after losing the first set. In the pre-quarterfinals, she was beaten by the top ranked Chinese Sun Yingsha in straight sets, which ended India's campaign in the singles events at the Games.
In the first round of the men's team event, the Indian team lost three straight matches to the top seeded Chinese team and exited the competition. In the first round of the women's team event, the 11th seeded Indian team faced off against the fifth seeded Romania. Akula and Archana Kamath teamed up to win the first match and Batra won the second match against the higher ranked Bernadette Szocs. But Romania won the next two singles matches to tie the series before Batra won the fifth match to progress to the next round. In the quarterfinals, India lost the doubles match to Germany to concede a lead. In the second match, Batra was defeated by lower ranked Annett Kaufmann before Archana Kamath secured a victory against the higher ranked Shan Xiaona. But Kaufmann once again stunned the higher ranked Akula to win the match and knock the Indian team out of the competition.

## Tennis

As per the International Tennis Federation, the main qualifying criterion was based on the players' positions on the ATP Entry Ranking and WTA ranking lists published on 10 June 2024.

The top 56 ranked players in the singles event qualified directly with spots allocated to subsequent ranked players if the NOCs exhaust the quota of four. Sumit Nagal qualified for the men's singles on the qualification criteria based on his ATP ranking of 77.
For the doubles event, top ten ranked players qualified directly and were allowed to choose their partners ranked under 400.

## Weightlifting

As per the guidelines set by the International Weightlifting Federation (IWF), each NOC was allowed to enter one competitor per event with a maximum of three per gender. The top eight athletes by ranking points obtained from 1 August 2022 to 28 April 2024 in each weight category qualified directly subject to the above condition.
Tokyo 2020 silver medalist Saikhom Mirabai Chanu secured one of the top ten slots in the women's 49 kg weight division based on the IWF Olympic qualification rankings.
The main event took place on 7 August at the Paris Expo Porte de Versailles. Mirabai Chanu lifted 85 kg on her first snatch attempt. However, she registered an unsuccessful second attempt to lift 88 kg, which was one kg more than her lift at the previous Olympics and matched her personal best. In the third and final attempt, she cleared the same weight and was ranked joint-third along with Surodchana Khambao of Thailand. In the clean & jerk, she had the highest first attempt weight, set at 111 kg. She faltered in the first attempt but cleared the same in the second attempt. Khambao lifted 112 kg, which forced Mirabai Chanu to try 114 kg for a medal place. But she couldn't clear the weight and finished with 111 kg lift, which was way below her personal mark of 119 kg. As a result, she finished fourth overall, and missed out on a bronze medal by a single kg.

## Wrestling

As per the United World Wrestling, each NOC was allowed to enter a maximum of 18 wrestlers with one per event. Quotas were allocated at the 2023 World Wrestling Championships, continental tournaments (including 2024 Asian Wrestling Olympic Qualification Tournament for Asia) and 2024 World Wrestling Olympic Qualification Tournament. Antim Panghal qualified in the women's 53 kg category with a top five result at the 2023 World Championships held in Belgrade, Serbia in September 2023. Vinesh Phogat, Anshu Malik, and Reetika Hooda secured quotas in the women's 50kg, 57 kg, and 76 kg categories respectively at the 2024 Asian Qualification Tournament held in April 2024 at Bishkek in Kyrgyzstan.

India entered the six qualified wrestlers in the freestyle category for the Games.
The wrestling events took place between 5 August and 11 August at the Grand Palais Éphémère in Champ de Mars. In the women's 68 kg event, Dahiya defeated fifth seed Tetiana Rizhko of Ukraine in the first round. Though the Ukrainian took an early lead, Dahiya mounted a comeback to take the contest. In the quarterfinals, she took a commanding 8–1 lead against Pak Sol-gum of North Korea. But a dislocated shoulder and a finger injury meant that she struggled with pain heading into the final minute of the bout and lost 8–10 after the North Korean took advantage of the situation to score nine straight points in quick succession.
In the first round of the women's 50 kg event, Vinesh Phogat defeated reigning Olympic and world champion Yui Susaki of Japan, who had not conceded a single point to an opponent in the Tokyo Olympics. The match was a cagey affair with Susaki leading 2–0 through two penalty points until the final few seconds when the Indian effected a takedown and scored an upset win. Phogat beat Oksana Livach of Ukraine in the quarterfinals and Yusneylys Guzmán of Cuba in the semifinals by point decisions to qualify for the final. However, Phogat was later disqualified for being 100g above the stipulated weight during the weigh-in on the morning of the finals. As a result, she was relegated to last place in the classification.
In the women's 53 kg event, Olympic debutant Panghal lost to Turkey's Zeynep Yetgil in the round of 16 bout, which ended in less than two minutes. Likewise, in the women's 57 kg event, Malik was beaten by Helen Maroulis of the United States in the round of 16. In the men's 57 kg event, Aman Sehrawat beat Vladimir Egorov of North Macedonia in his first round. He scored ten consecutive points to beat his opponent comfortably by technical superiority. In the quarterfinals, he again scored a similar victory against Zelimkhan Abakarov of Albania within four minutes to make it to the semifinals. In the semifinals, he lost to Japan's Rei Higuchi within four minutes after failing to score a single point. In the bronze medal bout, he faced Darian Cruz of Puerto Rico. Though both the wrestlers scored points initially, Sehrawat led 6–3 at half-time. He dominated the second half to win the bout by a scoreline of 13-5 and took the bronze medal.
In the women's 76 kg event, Hooda defeated eighth seed Bernadett Nagy of Hungary in the round of 16 by technical superiority. In the quarterfinals, she faced top seed Aiperi Medet Kyzy of Kyrgyzstan. It was a close match where neither wrestler gained a decisive advantage and the score finished tied at one point apiece. But as the Kyrgyz wrestler scored the last point, she won as per the count-back mechanism and as a result, Hooda failed to advance to the semifinals.
