Chopra's best throw came on his second attempt, but he struggled with four consecutive foul throws, which prevented him from winning gold.
Pakistan's Arshad Nadeem bagged the Gold, his country's first individual gold at a Summer Games.
Nadeem threw an Olympic record of 92.97 metres for victory, India's defending champion Neeraj Chopra taking silver with 89.45. Grenada's Anderson Peters claimed bronze with 88.54m.
