India’s women athletes have been central to the country’s Commonwealth Games 2026 story in Glasgow, even with a smaller overall sports programme this year. The standout moment came in para athletics, where Sharmila Dhankar created history by winning India’s first-ever Commonwealth Games gold medal in women’s para athletics, a landmark achievement for the discipline in the country.
In able-bodied track and field, India’s women contingent includes national record holder Parul Chaudhary in the long-distance events and race walker Priyanka Goswami, who has previously stood on the Commonwealth podium.
