New Delhi: The Paralympic Committee of India (PCI) confirmed that Indian Oil Corporation Limited will be the Title Sponsor of the World Para Athletics Championships, which will be hosted in New Delhi from 27 September to 5 October 2025. With this partnership, the event will officially be titled the Indian Oil New Delhi 2025 World Para Athletics Championships.

The Championships are set to be India’s biggest-ever para sporting event, welcoming over 2,200 athletes and support staff from more than 104 countries, who will compete in 186 medal events across track and field disciplines. The scale of the competition reflects India’s growing stature on the global para sports stage and the significance of the Championships as a crucial qualifier ahead of the 2028 Los Angeles Paralympic Games.

Speaking on the association, Mr. A. S. Sahney, Chairman Indian Oil said: We are proud to be the title sponsors for the New Delhi World Para Athletics Championships 2025. Indian Oil’s partnership with PCI has grown into a journey of remarkable milestones — from record medal hauls at the Asian Para Games to historic glory at the Paris Paralympics. These achievements reflect the courage and resilience of our para-athletes, and we are committed to empowering them further through initiatives like IndianOil DivyaShakti. As the world gathers in New Delhi, we look forward to celebrating the indomitable spirit of India’s para-sport and rising stature on the global stage.”

PCI president Devendra Jhajharia, India’s most decorated para athlete, expressed his excitement: “The World Para Athletics Championships coming to India is truly historic. To see more than 2,200 participants from over 100 countries competing in our capital fills me with pride. With Indian Oil’s support, this event will not only showcase world-class competition but will also inspire young para athletes to believe nothing is impossible.”
