India’s weightlifters delivered one of the strongest medal hauls of any discipline at the Commonwealth Games 2026 in Glasgow — see the full squad report for background on every lifter. Mirabai Chanu got things started with gold in the women’s 48kg category, her third consecutive Commonwealth Games title after previous wins at Gold Coast 2018 and Birmingham 2022, and a silver at Glasgow 2014.
Rishikanta Singh (men’s 60kg) and Muthupandi Raja (men’s 65kg) both claimed silver on the opening day of competition, with Rishikanta setting a Games record in the snatch. Gyaneshwari Yadav (women’s 53kg) and Valluri Ajaya Babu (men’s 79kg) added further silver medals in the days that followed — more on the women’s results in women’s weightlifting results today and the men’s in men’s weightlifting finals today.
Bindyarani Devi, who won silver in the 55kg category at Birmingham 2022, moved up to the 58kg category at Glasgow 2026 and claimed bronze, while Harjinder Kaur secured silver in the women’s 69kg event after Nirupama Devi narrowly missed the podium in the 63kg category. Together, these results made weightlifting one of India’s most consistent medal-producing sports at this year’s Games.
