The Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports suspended the recognition of the Table Tennis Federation of India (TTFI) on August 12, 2026, citing governance failures.
The suspension was triggered by the federation's failure to conduct organizational elections within the mandated timeframe and an unsatisfactory response to a show-cause notice.
The Ministry has directed the Indian Olympic Association to establish an ad-hoc committee to manage the sport's administration until a compliant governance structure is restored.
