==== Important caveats & context (don’t skip these) ====
# Different accounting scopes. India’s figure is the entire ministry budget (includes admin, SAI, federations support, Khelo India). Uzbekistan reporting highlights sectoral allocations and big infrastructure projects; some Uzbek coverage aggregates multi-year totals. Egypt’s numbers mix central budget allocations and specific investment project lines. That makes exact apples-to-apples comparisons imperfect — but the order-of-magnitude picture above is robust.

# Exchange-rate conversion uses mid-2025 averages (INR ≈ 86 / USD, UZS ≈ 12,014 / USD, EGP ≈ 49.24 / USD). Small changes in FX can move USD equivalents; local currency figures are the safer point of comparison. x-rates.com<ref>{{cite web|title=x-rates.com|url=https://www.x-rates.com/average/?amount=1&from=USD&to=INR&year=2025|publisher=x-rates.com|access-date=2026-01-06}}</ref>
# Private & extra-budgetary funding (corporate sponsorships, Olympic committees’ own funds, international grants, and donor projects) are not included here because they’re often off-budget and harder to capture reliably. Some nations supplement public spending heavily with such sources. (For India the ministry budget is only part of the whole sports ecosystem funding.)
