The Indian contingent produced a series of standout performances over the 11-day competition in Glasgow, collecting medals across disciplines such as boxing, athletics, judo, para sports, and weightlifting to reinforce its status as one of the Commonwealth’s sporting powerhouses.
Boxing emerged as one of India’s biggest contributors, accounting for 10 medals, including seven gold and three silver, while many track and field and para athletes too produced a string of podium finishes.
While the boxers delivered consistently, the judokas added crucial medals to the tallyThe absence of traditional sports like shooting, badminton, wrestling, hockey and table tennis, along with the reduced overall programme, affected India’s medal chances compared to previous editions – including Commonwealth Games 2022 in Birmingham.
There were, however, a few disappointments, with India’s campaign suffering an early setback when judoka Tulika Maan was ruled out before the Games after being provisionally suspended for three whereabouts failures under anti-doping regulations.
With the Glasgow edition coming to an end, India’s focus now shifts to the 2030 Commonwealth Games in AhmedabadThe official handover during Sunday’s closing ceremony will mark the beginning of preparations for the centenary edition, with the country set to host the Games for the second time after New Delhi in 2010.
