Commonwealth Table Tennis Championships: As India accelerates its preparations to host the Commonwealth Games 2030 and strengthens its bid for the Olympic and Paralympic Games 2036, Union sport minister Mansukh Mandaviya stressed that hosting international competitions enhances the nation's global reputation and provides invaluable competitive exposure for Indian athletes.
From New Delhi and Ahmedabad to Bhubaneswar, Chennai, Goa, Guwahati, Rajgir, Patna, Hyderabad, Pune, Lucknow and Mahabalipuram, cities across the country are increasingly becoming hubs for international sport.
Between January 2025 and June 2026, India successfully hosted 36 international sporting competitions across more than 15 cities, showcasing not only world-class sporting infrastructure but also its growing organisational expertise in delivering events across a wide range of Olympic and non-Olympic disciplines, as per the ministry release.
