Some campaigns are defined by a single moment. India’s Commonwealth Games 2026 run was defined by dozens of them.
The Indian contingent wrapped up the Commonwealth Games 2026 in Glasgow with 39 medals, finishing fourth on the overall standings — one of the country’s strongest showings on foreign soil, and a campaign the team itself is calling one to remember.

Final Medal Tally: India at Glasgow 2026
| Medal Type | Count |
|---|---|
| 🥇 Gold | 13 |
| 🥈 Silver | 17 |
| 🥉 Bronze | 9 |
| Total | 39 |
A Campaign Built on Depth, Not Just Star Power
What stands out about this tally isn’t just the number — it’s where the medals came from. Boxing led India’s charge with a record 10 medals, including seven golds, the most won by any nation in the sport at a single Games. Athletics and para-athletics also delivered historic firsts, with India’s para contingent matching its combined medal tally from every previous CWG edition in one campaign.
That breadth mattered even more given the reduced sporting programme at Glasgow, which excluded traditionally medal-rich disciplines for India like wrestling, badminton, table tennis, hockey, and shooting.
The Bigger Picture
India’s official social handles summed up the mood best, thanking every athlete in the contingent for their effort and calling for fans to keep the energy going as more action follows through the year. It’s a fitting note to end on — 122 Indian athletes competed across eight able-bodied and five para sports, and the results suggest India’s depth of talent is only growing.
