India finishes the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow in fourth place after winning a total of 39 medals—13 gold, 17 silver and nine bronze—according to reports. Multiple outlets describe a standout day near the end of the competition, when India delivers a record 16-medal haul to move up the standings with one day remaining. Boxing is identified as the key driver of the surge, with India winning seven golds and three silvers in a “historic” boxing performance. Other sports also contribute to the medal total, including judo and athletics, with additional medals reported in para athletics.
One outlet also notes that, on an earlier day, India continues to build momentum with judo and athletics medals and a strong set of boxing finalists, but the final overall placement is attributed to the Saturday medal blitz. Another report adds that India does not add to its total on the final day, with the campaign’s fourth-place finish and historic boxing results becoming the defining outcomes of the Games.
