Swapnil Kusale and Sarabjot Singh will compete in the rifle and pistol events respectively, while double medal-list Manu Bhaker - the star of India's Paris campaign - will only take part in MQS (Minimum Qualification Score) section. The pistol competitions will be held at Delhi's Karni Singh Shooting Range while the rifle events will take place in Bhopal.

Manu has requested she wants to enter the MQS section. It means her scores will not be considered for the competition. After a long break following her show in Paris, Manu and personal coach Jaspal Rana travelled to Lugano, Switzerland and worked on some technical aspects of her weapon at the Morini factory. She has been training at the Karni Singh range, but wants to take some more time before returning to competition. All three Olympic medallists, who skipped the October World Cup, are back in training.
