The 29-year-old Indian's effort was, however, still short of the national record of 49.51sec he set during the 2007 World Championships in Osaka.
The silver went to Saudi Arabia's Bandar Yahya Sharahili, who clocked 50.29sec. Japan's Naohiro Kawakita settled for the bronze medal with a timing of 50.37sec.
Earlier, Ashwini Chidananda bagged the gold in the women's 400m hurdles event.
