India’s 39‑medal haul and 2030 host handover
Overview
India concluded the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games with a record 39 medals—13 gold, 17 silver, and 9 bronze—finishing fourth overall behind Australia, England, and Canada.
The campaign was defined by several historic milestones. In para-sports, Sharmila Dhankar secured India’s first-ever para-athletics gold with a women’s F57 shot-put win, while para-sprinter Dilip Mahadu Gavit claimed gold in the men’s T47 100m. Para-athletes achieved a total haul of seven medals.
Boxing emerged as a dominant force, setting a new record by finishing at the top of the boxing medal standings with seven gold and three silver medals, surpassing the previous record of six golds held by England and Canada. Key champions included Sakshi Dhanda (51kg), who noted sponsorship from Virat Kohli’s foundation, and Arundhati Choudhary (70kg), who defeated England’s Chantelle Reid. Other gold medalists included Ankush Panghal and Priya Ghanghas, who secured the women’s 60kg title.
Weightlifting saw Mirabai Chanu secure her third consecutive gold in the 48kg category, while Gyaneshwari Yadav (53kg) and Lovepreet Singh (+110kg) earned silver. Judo also produced historic results with gold medals from Asmita Dey and Harsh Singor. Track star Gulveer Singh became the first Indian to win two athletics medals at a single Games, while Neeraj Chopra took silver in the men's javelin, followed by a bronze for Yashvir Singh.
During the closing ceremony on 2 August, the Commonwealth Games flag and baton were handed to Neeraj Chopra, P.T. Usha, and Harsh Sanghavi, confirming Ahmedabad as the host for the 2030 centenary Games.
