It was played from 1910 until 1982 and the men's event was part of the Grand Prix tennis circuit, 1970 to 1979. It was held in various cities in, India and was played outdoor on multiple surfaces. Ramanathan Krishnan won most titles during the pre-Open era with six titles and Vijay Amritraj won most titles during the open era with four titles.
History
Lawn tennis in India can be traced back within the first decade of the establishment of the Wimbledon championships with early local championships being established in places like Punjab (1885) and Calcutta (1887) [1]. However, there was no national championships, in 1910 colonial officers of the British Raj established the All India Lawn Tennis Championships in Allahabad [1] which was 10 years before the All India Tennis Association was founded. The championships staged both men's and women's singles play and also doubles.[1]. In 1946, the All-India Championships tournament was renamed the National Lawn Tennis Championships of India by the India Lawn Tennis Association. The tournament was hosted at different cities around India and was also played on different surfaces, such as grass courts (1910–59, 1964–66, 1969, 1970, 1973), hard courts (1967) and clay courts (1960–61, 1974–79) [2].
