'Displayed exceptional skill, determination': PM Modi hails India's CWG heroes
India finished fourth at the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow with 39 medals, including 13 gold, 17 silver, and 9 bronze.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated Indian athletes on X, praising their determination and dedication.
India's medal tally was lower than 61 in Birmingham 2022 because 30 of those medals came from sports omitted in Glasgow, such as shooting, wrestling, badminton, hockey, and table tennis.
India's contingent was reduced to 122 athletes from 210, yet 38 athletes won at least one medal.
The Commonwealth Games flag was handed over to India for the 2030 Games in Ahmedabad.
