 Independent Olympic Participants (2014)

Three athletes from India qualified for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, held between 7 and 23 February 2014. The country's participation in Sochi marked its ninth appearance at the Winter Olympics since its debut in 1964.[a]

While three Indians qualified for the games, they entered the competition as Independent Olympic Participants due to the suspension of the Indian Olympic Association since 2012. After Shiva Keshavan had participated in the luge event on 11 February 2014, the International Olympic Committee reinstated India's National Olympic Committee (NOC). This allowed the other two athletes, Himanshu Thakur and Nadeem Iqbal, who still had their respective events to compete under the Indian flag.

As participation under the Indian flag was not approved initially, there was no official flag-bearer during the opening ceremony. Thakur served as the flag-bearer during the closing ceremony. India did not win a medal, and as of these Games, India had not earned a Winter Olympic medal.
