India, aiming to improve on its bronze-medal performance from the previous edition, will compete in Group D against 2023 runners-up South Korea and Macau. The team's campaign will commence against Macau on February 12 and will be followed by a pivotal match against South Korea on February 13 at the Conson Gymnasium in Qingdao, China.
