India secures the silver medal in the mixed 4x400m relay at the Asian Games 2026, finishing with a time of 3:14.46. NDTV highlights a late surge by Poovamma Raju as key to keeping India in contention, while other coverage describes a sustained push across the race’s final stages.
The relay lineup is reported consistently across outlets: Manu T S, Poovamma Raju, Vishal T K, and Vithya Ramraj. Coverage indicates Manu T S provides a strong start in the opening leg, Vishal T K maintains the team’s position, and Vithya Ramraj delivers the decisive anchor finish after Poovamma’s closing effort. The final is described as tightly contested, with India holding on to a podium place.
In context, the silver is presented as part of India’s broader athletics medal run at the Games. Free Press Journal also notes that Seema Kumari wins bronze in the women’s 10,000m earlier in the athletics programme, marking India’s first athletics medal at the event, though that result is separate from the relay final.
