India Finish Fourth With 39 Medals at Glasgow Commonwealth Games

A compact programme plus a reduced squad revealed fresh medal depth, prompting urgent attention to selection and governance before Ahmedabad 2030.

Overview

  • India closed its Glasgow campaign with 39 medals — 13 gold, 17 silver and nine bronze — and finished fourth on the table after the Games ended on Sunday.
  • Boxing produced a national high point with 10 medals, including seven golds, the strongest single‑nation boxing showing recorded at a Commonwealth Games.
  • A 28‑member para team delivered India’s best CWG para return with seven medals, matching the country’s entire prior para total across past editions.
  • India recorded first Commonwealth judo golds through Asmita Dey and Harsh Singh, and Mirabai Chanu won her third straight CWG weightlifting gold with a Games record 190kg total.
  • Coverage flagged operational problems that cost entries or disrupted athletes — provisional doping suspensions, documentation and equipment gaps for para competitors and lost quotas — and the closing ceremony handed the Games flag to Neeraj Chopra and PT Usha as preparations for Ahmedabad 2030 begin.
