Delhi Commonwealth Table Tennis 2026

In mid‑July 2026 Delhi’s Chief Minister Rekha Gupta and Sports Minister Ashish Sood inaugurated the official mascot – a peacock called “Mayur” – for the 22nd Commonwealth Table Tennis Championships at a ceremony in The Lalit. The event highlighted Delhi’s growing reputation as a host for major international sport, noting the tournament would involve athletes from 25 Commonwealth nations.

Two weeks later, Gupta used the X platform to call on residents to attend the championships, now scheduled to run for seven days from 27 July at Tyagaraj Stadium. She reiterated the city’s successful history of staging large‑scale events and emphasized the tournament’s role in promoting table tennis nationwide. The later notice also referenced the earlier mascot unveiling and the presence of officials from the Table Tennis Federation of India and the Commonwealth Table Tennis Federation.

Together, the snapshots trace the progression from the mascot launch and venue announcement to a public‑engagement push ahead of the competition, underscoring Delhi’s intent to showcase its sporting infrastructure and attract large audiences.
