Earlier, India's 14-year-old shooter Naamya Kapoor fired her way to the gold medal ahead of celebrated compatriot Manu Bhaker in the women's 25m pistol event.
Kapoor shot 36 in the finals to claim the top prize ahead of France's Camille Jedrzejewski (33) and 19-year-old Olympian Bhaker (31), who has already won three golds so far in the tournament.
Bhaker took bronze after the French shooter prevailed in a shoot-off. Another Indian shooter, Rhythm Sangwan, finished fourth as the country dominated the finals.
Kapoor was sixth in the qualification with a total of 580 as Bhaker (587) and Sangwan (586) grabbed the top two spots.
Kapoor, who hails from Delhi, had shot the second best score of 583 in qualification to finish fifth in the national shooting selection trials at the Dr Karni Singh Range in August.
With the addition of three medals including two gold, India have now further extended their lead on the top of the medals table with eight gold, six silver and three bronze medals.
This is the first multi-discipline shooting event since the Tokyo Olympics, with as many as 32 nations and nearly 370 athletes participating in the championship.
