Shooting League of India schedule revised

New Delhi, Feb 4(UNI) The National Rifle Association of India (NRAI) and the Shooting League of India (SLI) have undertaken a strategic realignment of the league's inaugural season, with the event now scheduled for later this year. This move is designed to strengthen the league’s long-term positioning, broadcast impact, and overall fan experience. It will also position the league as the ultimate celebration of Indian shooting, capitalising on the massive sporting momentum expected from the major international events in 2026 and beyond.
The decision has been taken after detailed consultations with key stakeholders, including broadcast partners and franchises.
The revised schedule will also enable the league to align more closely with the international shooting calendar, as the previously scheduled launch would have preceded the year’s major multi-sport events, including the Asian Games, where Indian shooters are expected to contend for top honours.
