Mumbai, 31 March 2025: Following the successful conclusion of the JSW Indian Open in Mumbai, where Anahat Singh claimed the women’s title, Indian squash is poised for an exciting future with the announcement of three more international tournaments.

 

In a significant step for the sport, the Inspire Institute of Sport and JSW Sports, in collaboration with the Squash Rackets Federation of India (SRFI), have signed a landmark Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to host three years of world-class squash action on home soil. The MoU was formally signed by Mr. N Ramachandran, Patron of SRFI, and Mr. Parth Jindal, Founder & Director of Inspire Institute of Sport and JSW Sports, on the sidelines of the JSW Indian Open—India’s first-ever PSA Squash Copper tournament—where players competed in a unique outdoor glass court setting.

 

Over the next three years, India will host three PSA Squash Copper tournaments, with Mumbai, New Delhi, and Chennai expected to be the key venues. Beyond the tournaments, the partnership will facilitate collaboration with some of the world’s best high-performance squash coaches, ensuring top-tier training for Indian players. With six Indian players currently ranked in the world's top 100, this initiative is a major boost as they prepare to compete against the best in the lead-up to the Los Angeles 2028 Summer Olympics.
