The previous best was 51^st in Beijing Olympics 2008 when Indian won three medals.

India finished 57^th  in London 2012 despite winning more medals then Beijing because the medal table is ranked by countries by gold, silver and bronze medals and in that order and India didn’t manage to win a gold medal in London. The ranking dropped to 67^th and just 2 medals were won in Rio Olympics 2016
