NTPC National Ranking Archery Tournament: India will host the 2030 Commonwealth Games in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. The event will have a larger program than the 2026 Glasgow edition, held from July 23 to August 2, which included 10 sports and six para sports. Traditional medal-winning sports like shooting, wrestling, badminton, and archery are anticipated to be part of the competition again.

Elite Indian recurve archers Deepika Kumari and Tarundeep Rai are optimistic about archery’s inclusion when India hosts the Games again. In 2010, during India’s last hosting, 17 disciplines were featured, with the host nation earning a notable number of medals: 30 in shooting, 19 in wrestling, 8 in archery, and 4 in badminton.

Deepika, who secured India’s inaugural women’s individual recurve gold at the 2010 Delhi Games, reflected on how this milestone influenced her career and boosted the sport’s popularity.
