Prime Minister Narendra Modi received the Indian medal winners who won a lot of laurels for the nation in the 2026 Commonwealth Games on Sunday. He talked to the sportspersons regarding their experience in the Glasgow Games and congratulated them on their success, stating that their success would motivate many upcoming athletes in the nation. As stated by the Prime Minister through his post on the social networking site, “It was nice meeting our medal winners from the 2026 Commonwealth Games at 7, Lok Kalyan Marg. I heard about their experiences in the Games. They have all done proud to the country with their amazing performances.”

India won a total of 39 medals in Glasgow, including 13 gold, 17 silver, and nine bronze medals. India finished fourth in the medal tally. However, this time the Commonwealth Games program was significantly limited, and sports with strong medal potential for India, such as wrestling, badminton, table tennis, hockey, and shooting, were not included. India's fourth-place finish with 39 medals was particularly noteworthy. India performed strongly primarily in boxing, judo, athletics, and para-athletics.

Boxing was one of India's most successful sports. Indian boxers won a total of 10 medals, including seven gold and three silver. Gold medal winners included Preeti Pawar (54 kg), Jasmine Lamboria (57 kg), Sakshi Chaudhary (51 kg), Priya Ghanghas (60 kg), Arundhati Chaudhary (70 kg), Sachin Siwach (60 kg), and Ankush Panghal (80 kg).

Meanwhile, Jadumani Singh (55 kg), Lovlina Borgohain (75 kg), and Narinder Barwal (90+ kg) won silver medals. This was a historic performance for Indian women boxers. They achieved their best-ever performance in a single edition of the Commonwealth Games, winning seven gold medals.

India achieved its best-ever performance in judo at the Commonwealth Games. In Glasgow, India participated in 12 judo events and won a total of four medals, including two gold, one silver, and one bronze. This performance was better than the 2022 Commonwealth Games, when India won three medals and no gold.

Asmita Dey and Harsh Singh won historic gold medals for India. Asmita became the first Indian woman to win gold in judo at the Commonwealth Games, while Harsh Singh became the first Indian man to win gold in this event. Both athletes have been associated with Khelo India.

India also won a total of 10 medals in athletics, including five silver and five bronze. Gulvir Singh created history by becoming the first Indian track and field athlete to win two individual medals at the same Commonwealth Games. He won silver in the men's 10,000m and bronze in the 5,000m.

India's performance in this limited edition was significant because the absence of traditionally medal-winning sports like wrestling, badminton, table tennis, hockey, and shooting meant India had relatively limited medal opportunities. Despite this, Indian athletes won 39 medals, finishing fourth in the medal tally, and Prime Minister Modi praised their performance, calling it inspirational for the younger generation.
