The list, however, does not mention shooters in the air pistol women category.
"It will be notified immediately after the conduct of ISSF Final Olympic Qualification Championship at Rio, Brazil," NRAI said.
Air pistol and air rifle shooters who have secured Olympic quota places will get one bonus point.
But in the case of 50m rifle and 25m pistol events, two bonus points will get added to the scores of the Olympic quota winners.
India have so far secured a record 19 Olympic quotas in shooting.
