Glasgow, Scotland, will host the Commonwealth Games 2026 from 23 July to 2 August 2026. During the event, the Indian contingent will wear sustainable jute-viscose blended apparel developed by the National Jute Board under the Ministry of Textiles. The biodegradable apparel highlights India's commitment to sustainable textiles, natural fibre innovation, and the Make in India initiative. This will also mark the first time a national contingent wears jute-based apparel at an international multi-sport event, promoting environmentally friendly manufacturing practices and showcasing Indian craftsmanship on a global stage.
