Athletics contributed 16 medals (3 gold, 7 silver, 6 bronze), with para athletes Sharmila Dhankar, Dilip Gavit, and Soman Rana winning gold.
Boxing secured 10 medals, including a record 7 gold, marking a dominant performance.
The Glasgow Games had a reduced sports programme, excluding cricket, badminton, hockey, shooting, squash, and table tennis, impacting India's total.
