They defeated a strong Andhra Pradesh team, led by two-time Olympic medallist PV Sindhu, in the final to defend their title in dominant fashion. Sindhu, returning to the national championships after seven years, had earlier led Andhra Pradesh to a 3–0 quarterfinal win after winning both her singles and doubles matches against Uttarakhand.

Navya fought hard but went down to Devika Sihag in a tight three-game match that lasted an hour, while Surya lost to Unnati Hooda in straight games.
