Neeraj Chopra qualified for Budapest 23 at the [[Lausanne]] [[Athletissima|Diamond League]] [[2022 Athletissima|last year]] when he met the entry standard of 85.20m with a throw of 89.08m. Rohit Yadav & [[Tajinderpal Singh Toor]], both qualified athletes for this meet, will miss out due to long-term injuries of the elbow & groin respectively. High jumper [[Tejaswin Shankar]], women's 20 km race walk athlete [[Priyanka Goswami]] & women's 800m athlete KM Chanda qualified for this meet but have opted out due to their desire to focus on the [[2022 Asian Games|2023 Asian Games]].<ref name=":0" />

Race walker Ram Baboo, meanwhile, became the first Indian athlete to qualify for the World Athletics Championships 2023 via the world ranking route earlier this year.<ref name=":0">https://olympics.com/en/news/world-athletics-championships-2023-budapest-india-athletes-qualified-list</ref> Jyothi Yarraji, Abdulla Aboobacker and Abhishek Kumar Pal achieved berths after qualifying at their area championships in Asia.<ref>{{Cite news |date=2023-07-14 |title=Double delight for Jyothi, Ajay, Abdulla as they qualify for athletics World Championships |work=The Times of India |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/more-sports/athletics/double-delight-for-jyothi-ajay-abdulla-as-they-qualify-for-athletics-world-championships/articleshow/101745820.cms |access-date=2023-07-14 |issn=0971-8257}}</ref> Abhishek Kumar Pal, however, did not attend the event.
