India finished fourth in the overall medal tally at the Commonwealth Games 2026 held in Glasgow, Scotland. The country secured a total of 39 medals, comprising 13 gold, 17 silver, and 9 bronze medals. Although this was fewer than the 61 medals won at Birmingham 2022, the Glasgow Games featured fewer sports and medal events. India performed better in comparable sports, highlighting the country's growing competitiveness. Standout achievements included Gulveer Singh winning two medals, India's dominance in boxing with seven gold medals, and the nation's first-ever Commonwealth Games judo golds. The closing ceremony also marked the official handover of the Games to Ahmedabad for the 2030 edition.
