New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday lauded the Indian contingent for its showing at the Commonwealth Games 2026 in Glasgow, where the country finished with 39 medals, including 13 gold. ADVERTISEMENT“Proud of our contingent’s performance at the Glasgow Commonwealth Games. The 11-day Commonwealth Games drew to a close with Scotland formally transferring the Commonwealth Games flag and ceremonial baton to India during a grand closing ceremony, marking the handover to the host of the centenary edition in 2030. Ahmedabad will stage the 2030 Commonwealth Games, making India only the second country after Australia to host the multi-sport event more than once. Although that total was below the 61 medals India secured in Birmingham in 2022, the numbers told only part of the story.
