Lucknow: The Uttar Pradesh Badminton Association (UPBA) is set to host the Dr Akhilesh Das Gupta Memorial All-India Senior Ranking Tournament and the Syed Modi India International 2025 from Sept 12–19 and Nov 25–30, respectively. The prizemoney for the Syed Modi tournament has been increased by US$30,000 this year. UPBA secretary Sudharma Singh said that the association released its annual calendar on April 23 and decided to raise the prize money for the Syed Modi tournament to US$240,000, up from last year's US$210,000. "The tournament will feature India's star shuttlers including PV Sindhu , Lakshya Sen, HS Prannoy, etc., who are expected to join the competition. In previous years, some badminton-playing countries did not participate in the Syed Modi tournament as they were committed to their national games," he added. "This year, top shuttlers are more likely to participate in the Syed Modi tournament, especially since many have been struggling to win matches and are looking to gain ranking points. The tournament is expected to attract both star and emerging players," he said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Scarlett Johansson, 40, Shows Off Her Real Size In A New Vacation Photos 33 Bridges Undo The organising committee has also announced its readiness to host other major events and will conduct the Dr. Akhilesh Das Gupta Memorial UP State Senior Badminton Championship 2025 with a prize purse of ₹5 lakh, from October 30 to November 1.
