India finished the Commonwealth Games 2026 in Glasgow with 39 medals—13 gold, 17 silver and 9 bronze—to place fourth in the overall standings. Although it was the country's lowest medal tally since 1998, the result came after several medal-winning sports, including shooting, wrestling, badminton and table tennis, were dropped from the Games due to a reduced 10-sport programme. India responded with record-breaking performances in boxing, historic gold medals in judo, a strong showing in athletics and para-athletics, and an eight-medal weightlifting campaign led by Mirabai Chanu, highlighting the country's growing strength across multiple sports.
