India’s Commonwealth Games 2026 campaign in Glasgow has picked up real momentum heading into the final stretch, and the medal tally today shows the country back inside the top 8 on the overall standings table.
As of Thursday morning, July 30, India’s Commonwealth Games 2026 medal tally stands at 15 medals in total: 5 gold, 4 silver, and 6 bronze. That tally came after a standout Day 7, when Dilip Mahadu Gavit smashed the Games record to win gold in the men’s 100m T47 para athletics event, with teammate Mohammed Basil M taking silver in the same race. Long jumper Murali Sreeshankar added another silver, keeping India’s athletics and para-athletics contingent among the biggest medal contributors so far.
Boxing has also become a major source of assured medals. Six Indian boxers, Sakshi Choudhary, Jaismine Lamboria, Arundhati Choudhary, Sachin Siwach, Ankush Panghal, and Narender Berwal, all won their quarterfinal bouts, guaranteeing India at least six more medals once the semifinals are settled. Lovlina Borgohain is also assured of a podium finish after receiving a direct bye into her semifinal.
Sport-wise breakdown so far
Athletics and para athletics: the single biggest medal contributor for India this edition, including two gold medals from para athletes.
Weightlifting: has added several medals to the tally, including one gold.
Para powerlifting: contributed India’s first medal of these Games through Jhandu Kumar’s bronze.
Boxing: currently has multiple guaranteed medals pending semifinal and final results.
Where India stands in the overall table
Australia continues to dominate the 2026 medal table with more than 100 medals overall, including 47 gold. Canada sits second with 39 total medals, and England holds third position with 12 gold medals despite a higher overall count than Canada. India currently occupies the 8th spot, just behind nations like South Africa and Malaysia.
What’s left to watch today
Day 7 in Glasgow is packed with medal chances for India. Neeraj Chopra begins his javelin throw qualifying campaign alongside Rohit Yadav and Yash Vir Singh, while Tejaswin Shankar continues his decathlon events. Martina Devi Maibam competes in the women’s 86+kg weightlifting final, a direct medal event, and India’s track cycling team lines up in the men’s team sprint later in the evening.
How this compares to 2022
At the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games, India finished with 61 total medals (22 gold, 16 silver, 23 bronze) to place fourth overall. This year’s Glasgow edition features a smaller program, with nine sports dropped from the 2022 lineup, including wrestling and badminton, both traditionally strong medal sources for India. That makes a direct comparison tricky, but it also means every medal in this edition carries extra weight given the reduced number of events on offer.
With several days of competition still remaining, including finals in athletics, boxing, weightlifting, and cycling, India’s medal tally is expected to keep climbing. Fans tracking the Commonwealth Games 2026 India medal tally today can expect the biggest updates to come from the athletics and boxing draws over the next 48 hours.
