The first came on bronze in rowing, followed by a historic silver in wushu. Seema Kumari then made the day even better in the evening, winning bronze in the women's 10,000m final, bringing the first athletics medal for the Indian contingent at the Asian Games. A few minutes later, it was double delight for India as the mixed 4x400m relay team (Manu TS, Poovamma MR, Vishal TK and Vithya Ramraj) came second in the final, winning silver.

This was Satnam's second medal at the Asian Games, having won the bronze in 2022 in the men's quadruple sculls team.
Roshibina Devi then won the silver medal in women's 60kg Sanda. This was her second consecutive silver at the Games and a third-straight Asiad medal haul, which came after she lost to Zhang Xiaoyu of China by a 2-0 scoreline, losing both rounds 0-5 - (2-6, 3-6, 2-6, 2-6, 2-8) and (2-10, 3-8, 3-7, 3-7, 1-6).
