India finished third in the tally with 16 medals, including two gold and eight silver.

"We received numerous positive comments from our teams that attended the event. I have been organising events for 10-plus years (and) I can confirm that the World Cup in India was one of the best that I have seen," wrote WSPS Shooting Manager, Tyler Anderson, who was in Delhi from Bonn for the entire duration of the Para World Cup.

"On behalf of shooting Para Para sport and our athletes, we thank JP Nautiyal (chairperson, Para Shooting - Sports Technical Committee, Paralympic Committee of India) and his staff for their time, effort and dedication to deliver this world-class event," added Anderson.
