Story highlights

The next edition, scheduled to be held in 2030, will be hosted by the Indian city of Ahmedabad. The shortened version saw India win 13 gold, 17 silver and nine bronze medals. 

India finished on fourth place with 39 medals in Commonwealth Games 2026 which concluded Sunday (Aug 2) in Glasgow, Scotland. The shortened version saw India win 13 gold, 17 silver and nine bronze medals as the baton has been passed to Ahmedabad for the next edition. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi also hailed the 122-strong Indian contingent for their performance in a congratulatory message on X on Monday (Aug 3). This is the first time India has won less than 50 medals at the Commonwealth Games since 1998 Kuala Lampur. The Glasgow Games, however, had fewer sports than ever which played a significant role in India's low medal tally.
