This will be the first time in three years the Indian Open will see spectators in the stands, which was not possible until now due to the Covid-19 pandemic. "We are thrilled to have such responses and big names fighting for the titles in the upcoming edition.

The upgraded Super 750 status also makes this event grandeur in every possible way and we look forward to a mega week full of exciting badminton action," BAI Secretary General Sanjay Mishra said.
Meanwhile, the biggest news from the Indian frontg would be that PV Sindhu, who has been out of action since the CWG 2022, will be back on the court after a long injury layoff.
