India finished its campaign at the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland, in fourth place on the overall medal table. The Indian contingent secured a total of 39 medals, consisting of 13 gold, 17 silver, and nine bronze. This performance comes despite the Games featuring a significantly reduced sporting program that excluded several disciplines where India has historically excelled, such as shooting, wrestling, and badminton.
Boxing emerged as the standout discipline for the Indian team, contributing 10 medals, including a record-breaking seven gold medals. This performance marks the most successful boxing campaign by any nation in the history of the Commonwealth Games. Alongside boxing, athletics and para-sports provided significant momentum, with para-athletes delivering a remarkable seven-medal haul that surpassed previous records in both quantity and quality.
Weightlifting also played a crucial role in the early stages of the competition, adding eight medals to the tally, including a gold from Mirabai Chanu. While the final day of the Games did not see India add to its medal count, the overall results reflect a steady growth in the country's sporting diversity. The Indian Olympic Association and athletes now look toward the 2030 Commonwealth Games, which are scheduled to be hosted in Ahmedabad, India.
As the Games officially closed, the Commonwealth flag was handed over to India in a ceremony attended by Olympic champion Neeraj Chopra and Indian Olympic Association president PT Usha. The event served as both a conclusion to the Glasgow competition and a formal invitation for the global sporting community to reunite in India for the centenary edition of the Games in 2030.
