The Republic of India is competing at the 2025 Asian Youth Games in Manama, Bahrain, from 22 to 31 October 2025. This is India's second appearance in the competition since the 2009 edition, after they previously competed as Independent Olympic Athletes in the 2013 edition.
Background India was one of the first five founding members of the Asian Games Federation (now Olympic Council of Asia) on 13 February 1949, in New Delhi. The nation made its appearance in every edition of the Asian Youth Games (AYG) since 2009, however the Indian athletes had to participate in the Games under the Olympic flag due to the suspension of the country's National Olympic Committee (NOC) in the 2013 edition. This edition marked the nation's second appearance at the Games.
The Indian contingent for this year's games consists of 222 athletes across 21 sports disciplines, in addition to 90 support staff and officials. Yogeshwar Dutt has been appointed as the Chef de mission, aka head of mission for this edition.
