Explanation

The 18th Asian Games were held from 18 August to 2 September 2018 in the cities of Jakarta and Palembang, Indonesia. India secured a total of 69 medals (15 gold, 24 silver and 30 bronze) and finished 8th in the medal table. The total number of medals won by India in the 18th Asian Games was originally 69, but later it was revised to 70. This revision was due to redistribution of medals related to doping, under which India received one additional bronze medal and one silver medal was upgraded to a gold medal. Thus, India’s total medals became 70 (16 gold, 23 silver, 31 bronze). The 19th Asian Games were held in Hangzhou (China) from 23 September to 8 October 2023. In this, India won a total of 107 medals (28 gold, 38 silver and 41 bronze) and finished 4th.
