Mairaj, who hails from Uttar Pradesh, finished ahead of Korea's Minsu Kim (36) and Britain's Ben Llewellin (26), who won the silver and bronze respectively.
Mairaj had shot 119/125 over two days of qualifying before coming through in a five-way shoot-off. Mairaj found himself vying for two final qualification spots along with four others, including two-time Olympic medallist Abdullah Al Rashidi of Kuwait.
