The tally came from a 122-strong Indian contingent that competed across ten sports over the course of the Games.

Judo produced a historic first for India, with Asmita Dey and Harsh Singh becoming the country's first-ever Commonwealth Games judo gold medallists, according to the Wikipedia tally and Olympics.com's Games reporting. Dey won the women's 48kg final, defeating Canada's Heidi Quach by yuko, while Singh took gold in the men's 60kg category.
India's judo campaign added two more medals beyond the golds: Yamini Mourya won a silver, and Unnati Sharma took bronze in the women's 63kg category, taking the sport's overall tally to four medals in Glasgow.
Athletics was India's largest single contributor to the medal count, delivering 16 medals in all — three gold, seven silver and six bronze, per the Wikipedia tally. Javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra added a silver to his Commonwealth Games record, his second podium finish after winning gold at the 2018 Gold Coast Games.
Para-athletics also featured among the highlights, with Dilip Gavit setting a Games record in the men's 100m T47 sprint on his way to a medal, part of a wider Indian para-athletics campaign that added to the overall tally.
Glasgow 2026 closed with the formal handover of the Commonwealth Games flag and Host Baton to Ahmedabad, officially starting the countdown to the 2030 Centenary Games, according to reporting by Telangana Today and Prokerala. Gujarat Deputy Chief Minister Harsh Sanghavi attended the closing ceremony to receive the flag and baton on Ahmedabad's behalf.
The handover segment was built around three acts, Telangana Today reported: an opening act marking the 150th anniversary of Vande Mataram, a classical jugalbandi pairing sitar maestro Rishabh Rikhiram Sharma with Scottish piper Ross Ainslie, and a closing visual journey across India with a focus on Gujarat. Glasgow 2026's Chief Marketing and Ceremonies Officer, Louisa Mahon, said the segment was 'far more than a ceremonial tradition,' bringing together the two nations through a fusion of Indian sitar and Scottish pipes while marking the Vande Mataram anniversary. Director of Ceremonies Chanda Singh said the programme was designed to present 'an India that is confident while remaining deeply connected to its traditions,' per Prokerala's report.
Prokerala's report also noted a change to the King's Baton Relay itself: for the first time since the relay began at the 1958 Cardiff Games, all 74 Commonwealth nations and territories received their own customised baton carrying a message from King Charles III, each to be carried by individuals recognised for their contribution to society.
