India at the 2023 World Athletics Championships

India entered 28 athletes.^[1][2]

Neeraj Chopra qualified for Budapest 23 at the Lausanne Diamond League last year when he met the entry standard of 85.20m with a throw of 89.08m. Rohit Yadav & Tajinderpal Singh Toor, both qualified athletes for this meet, will miss out due to long-term injuries of the elbow & groin respectively. High jumper Tejaswin Shankar, women's 20 km race walk athlete Priyanka Goswami & women's 800m athlete KM Chanda qualified for this meet but have opted out due to their desire to focus on the 2023 Asian Games.^[3]

Race walker Ram Baboo, meanwhile, became the first Indian athlete to qualify for the World Athletics Championships 2023 via the world ranking route earlier this year.^[3] Jyothi Yarraji, Abdulla Aboobacker and Abhishek Kumar Pal achieved berths after qualifying at their area championships in Asia.^[4] Abhishek Kumar Pal, however, did not attend the event.

This year, a remarkable total of 28 Indian athletes, including a men's relay team, have qualified for the prestigious championships, marking the highest-ever representation of Indian athletes at the event.
