History
The initial idea was to hold the inaugural cometition at Tau Devi Lal Athletic Stadium in Panchkula, a region where Neeraj Chopra started his career. But the venue was shifted to Sree Kanteerava Stadium in Bengaluru to fulfill the infrastructure requirements for a gold category event.[4] Originally scheduled for 24 May 2025 in Bengaluru, the event was rescheduled to July 5 due to the 2025 India and Pakistan crisis.[5] Julius Yego, Thomas Röhler, Curtis Thompson and other javelin stars participated in the first edition.[6] Laser lights and dance performances kicked off the inaugural edition of the javelin meet.[7]
