Rajesh Ramesh is set to open his 2026 season at the Indian Open 400m meet in Trivandrum.

“Yes, I’ll be participating in the Open 400m meet. Training is going well, there are no injuries, and everything is going smoothly,” Rajesh told NNIS Sports.

The Indian quarter-miler enjoyed a consistent run last season, recording three sub-46-second performances:

45.77s – IGP 2
45.97s – Open Athletics Meet
45.75s – Open Athletics Championships

Among Indian 400m runners, only Vishal TK recorded more sub-46 timings than Rajesh last year, highlighting his strong presence in the national quarter-mile circuit.
