JSW Indian Open returns with India’s first women’s PSA Silver event
The Story in Brief
The JSW Indian Open will return for its third edition from February 9 to 13, 2027, at Mumbai Gymkhana, with the women's competition upgraded to Silver level on the PSA World Tour, making it India's first-ever women's Silver-level squash tournament. The men's competition will remain at Copper level.
The announcement follows India's five-medal haul at the Aichi-Nagoya 2026 Asian Games, including two silver medals won by Anahat Singh and Abhay Singh in singles. Divyanshu Singh, CEO of JSW Sports, called the upgrade a significant milestone for creating stronger competitive opportunities for women in squash.
The organisers are yet to announce the participating players, tournament draw and ticketing details for the 2027 edition.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both The Hindu and NDTV report the same facts: the February 2027 dates, the women's Silver upgrade, the men's Copper level, and the Asian Games medal tally. NDTV's version runs longer with direct quotes from Divyanshu Singh and Manisha Malhotra, while The Hindu includes the squash wrap alongside unrelated sports briefs. Neither outlet offers any critical or contrasting perspective, the coverage is uniform straight reporting sourced from a press release. The key concrete item to watch is the organisers' forthcoming announcement of the player draw and ticketing, which both outlets note is pending.
