Glasgow: India’s medal tally at the Commonwealth Games 2026 in Glasgow, Scotland, rose to 17 through Day 7 of competition, with weightlifting and para-athletics emerging as the country’s strongest disciplines so far. The 122-member Indian contingent has claimed three gold, 10 silver and four bronze medals across the ongoing Games, which run from July 23 to August 2.

Weightlifting has been India’s most productive sport at Glasgow 2026, contributing eight of the country’s 17 medals: one gold, six silver and one bronze. Mirabai Chanu opened the campaign with gold in the women’s 48kg category, completing a hat-trick of Commonwealth Games titles. She was followed onto the podium by Rishikanta Singh, Muthupandi Raja, Gyaneshwari Yadav, Valluri Ajaya Babu, Harjinder Kaur and Lovepreet Singh, who claimed silver medals, while Bindyarani Devi added a bronze in the women’s 58kg event.

Para-athletics has also delivered strongly, with four medals coming from the discipline. Sharmila Dhankar won gold in the women’s shot put F57 event, while Dilip Gavit claimed gold in the men’s 100m T47, setting a record-breaking time. Mohammed Basil took silver in the same event, and Shilpa K Shyla added a bronze in the women’s shot put F57.

In track and field, Sarvesh Kushare, Gulveer Singh and Murali Sreeshankar won silver medals in high jump, the men’s 1000m and long jump respectively, while Seema Kaliramna claimed bronze in the women’s discus throw with a best effort of 58.65m. Jhandu Kumar had opened India’s medal account earlier in the Games with a bronze in men’s para powerlifting.

India’s 32-member athletics squad is being led by two-time Olympic medallist Neeraj Chopra, who advanced to the men’s javelin throw final alongside compatriots Rohit Yadav and Yash Vir Singh after a qualification round affected by strong winds in Glasgow. Chopra, who won gold at the 2018 Gold Coast Games but missed Birmingham 2022 due to injury, will aim to reclaim his title in the final. Praveen Chithravel and Selva Prabhu also advanced to the men’s triple jump final, while decathlete Tejaswin Shankar was placed second overall after five events.

Boxer Lovlina Borgohain has already been assured of a medal after receiving a quarter-final bye in the women’s 75kg category, under rules that award bronze to both losing semi-finalists.

A total of 122 Indian athletes are competing across eight able-bodied sports and five integrated para disciplines at Glasgow 2026. India have won 564 medals across 18 previous Commonwealth Games appearances, making the country the fourth-most successful nation in the event’s history behind Australia, England and Canada. The best-ever showing came at the 2010 New Delhi Games, where India won 101 medals to finish second on the table, while the previous edition at Birmingham 2022 yielded 61 medals. A pared-back sports programme in Glasgow has dropped several disciplines that contributed heavily to India’s past tallies, including wrestling, badminton, table tennis and hockey.

The Commonwealth Games 2026 conclude on August 2, with several Indian athletes, including Chopra and the triple jump pair, still in contention for further medals in the closing days of competition.
