Founded in 1964, it was added to the Asia Golf Circuit schedule in 1970. In 1998 it became an event on the rival Omega Tour (known as the Asian Tour since 2004). Since 2015, it has also been co-sanctioned by the European Tour.
From 1964 until 2000, the tournament was held exclusively at either Delhi Golf Club or Royal Calcutta Golf Club. Since then it has been held at Classic Golf Resort in 2000 and 2001, Karnataka Golf Association in 2012, and DLF Golf and Country Club in 2009 and since 2017; all other editions have been held at Delhi Golf Club.
==History== The inaugural event was held in February 1964. Peter Thomson beat Ralph Moffitt by four strokes.<ref name=gh1964>{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=voNAAAAAIBAJ&sjid=r6MMAAAAIBAJ&pg=5143%2C6754176 |title=Title for Thomson |newspaper=The Glasgow Herald |date=17 February 1964 |page=8 |access-date=28 January 2020 |archive-date=10 February 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230210052301/https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=voNAAAAAIBAJ&sjid=r6MMAAAAIBAJ&pg=5143%2C6754176 |url-status=live }}</ref> Thomson was the inspiration behind the event. He used to stop off in India while travelling worldwide to play and soon realised the potential for golf and that the best way to promote it would be an international tournament. It was this insight that persuaded the Indian Golf Union to establish the Indian Open.{{cn|date=January 2020}} Thompson continued to play in the event and won again in 1966 and 1976. His three wins was equalled by Jyoti Randhawa in 2007.
The second event in 1965 was won by Indian amateur Prem Gopal (Billoo) Sethi, who beat Guy Wolstenholme by seven strokes.<ref name=gh1965>{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=7GJAAAAAIBAJ&sjid=mqMMAAAAIBAJ&pg=1368%2C2433905 |title=Sethi Indian Champion |newspaper=The Glasgow Herald |date=15 February 1965 |page=4 |access-date=28 January 2020 |archive-date=10 February 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230210052329/https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=7GJAAAAAIBAJ&sjid=mqMMAAAAIBAJ&pg=1368%2C2433905 |url-status=live }}</ref> Sethi still remains the only amateur winner. It was not until 1991, when Ali Sher became champion, that India had another winner.
In 1970 the Indian Open became part of the Asia Golf Circuit;<ref>{{cite news |title=Asian circuit offers half-million dollars |newspaper=The Straits Times |location=Singapore |date=13 January 1970 |page=21 |url=https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/Digitised/Article/straitstimes19700113-1.2.124 |via=National Library Board |access-date=19 March 2020 |archive-date=20 July 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200720034240/https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/Digitised/Article/straitstimes19700113-1.2.124 |url-status=live }}</ref> it had been an "associate event" on the circuit in 1967 and 1968.<ref>{{cite news |title=Seven events in F-E circuit |newspaper=The Straits Times |location=Singapore |date=10 April 1967 |page=17 |agency=Reuter |url=https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/Digitised/Page/straitstimes19661112-1.1.18 |via=National Library Board |access-date=12 March 2020 |archive-date=9 July 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200709170606/https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/Digitised/Page/straitstimes19661112-1.1.18 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Club members pay for Fisher's trip |newspaper=The Straits Times |location=Singapore |date=29 December 1967 |page=18 |first=Francis |last=Boey |url=https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/Digitised/Article/straitstimes19671229-1.2.115.1 |via=National Library Board |access-date=7 July 2020 |archive-date=31 January 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200131165308/https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/Digitised/Article/straitstimes19671229-1.2.115.1 |url-status=live }}</ref> As a result of joining the tour, the field increased in strength with notable winners including three-time major champion Payne Stewart. There have been a number of sponsors over the years, with Hero Honda Motors Ltd taking over sponsorship in 2005. The prize fund for 2017 was US$1.75 million.
No events took place in 2020, 2021 and 2022 because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
