This is the best ever performance by India in wushu at the Asiad.
Naorem defeated Mubashra of Pakistan 2-0 in the quarter-finals of the women's sanda 60 kilogram category. This was the first medal for India in wushu at this year's Asian Games.
Naorem will take on Cai Yingying of China in the semi-finals. The loser will have to be content with a bronze medal.
Cai had defeated Kurniati Mei Yulianengsih of Indonesia 2-0 in the quarter-finals.
Later, Santosh edged out Phitak Paokrathok of Thailand 2-1 in the last eight stage of the men's sanda 56kg division.
Santosh will take on Bui Truong Giang of China in the semi-finals.
The Indian had started his campaign with a 2-0 win over Vietnam's Linn Thu Rain. He went on to defeat Zaid Ali Wazea of Yemen by a similar scoreline in the pre-quarterfinals.
Surya defeated Jean Claude Saclag of Philippines 2-0 in the quarter-finals of the men's sanda 60kg category. He will fight Iran's Erfan Ahangarian for a place in the final.
