JSW Indian Open 2027 to feature India's first women's Silver-level squash event

The JSW Indian Open will return for its third edition from February 9 to 13 here with the women's competition upgraded to Silver level on the Professional Squash Association (PSA) World Tour.

The upgrade means it would be the country's first-ever women's Silver-level tournament on the circuit.

"Hosting India's first-ever women's Silver-level tournament on the PSA Tour is a significant milestone and reflects our commitment to creating stronger competitive opportunities for women in squash," Divyanshu Singh, CEO, JSW Sports, said.

The men's competition will be held at copper level.

The upgrade will provide Indian players with an opportunity to compete in a higher-tier tournament at home, face stronger international opposition and gain valuable experience against a deeper field of competitors.

Indian squash has made considerable progress in recent years, with a new generation of players establishing themselves internationally. This progress was reflected in India's performance at the Aichi–Nagoya Asian Games, where the country secured five squash medals, including two silver and three bronze.

Anahat Singh won silver in the women's singles event, while India also secured medals across team and doubles competitions.

Other details regarding participating players, the draw and ticketing for the 2027 edition will be announced in due course.
