The IOA have worked on the budget considering the strength of the Indian contingent, which will comprise 195 members.

A total of Rs 14 million has been earmarked for athlete-related activities, including cash reward for athletes and teams to win medals for the country.

A major share of the overall budget, comprising Rs 12 million, will be taken care of by the Sports Ministry of India.
