India produced its biggest medal haul of the Commonwealth Games 2026 on Saturday, collecting 15 medals across boxing, athletics, para athletics and judo to continue its outstanding campaign in Glasgow.

The day belonged to India’s boxers, who delivered a historic performance by winning seven gold medals and three silvers from 10 finals, while the athletics team added three more medals and para athletics contributed a memorable one-two finish in the men’s F57 shot put. Judoka Unnati Sharma also added a bronze to cap another productive day for the Indian contingent.

Indian boxing scripts history with seven gold medals

Indian boxing enjoyed arguably its greatest-ever day at the Commonwealth Games.

The country dominated the finals, winning seven of the 10 gold-medal bouts, an unprecedented achievement in Commonwealth Games history.

Gold medals came through:

• 
  Sakshi Chaudhary (Women’s 51kg)
• 
  Preeti Pawar (Women’s 54kg)
• 
  Jaismine Lamboria (Women’s 57kg)
• 
  Priya Ghanghas (Women’s 60kg)
• 
  Arundhati Choudhary (Women’s 70kg)
• 
  Sachin Siwach (Men’s 60kg)
•

India also claimed three silver medals through Lovlina Borgohain (Women’s 75kg), Jadumani Singh (Men’s 55kg) and Narender Berwal (Men’s 90+kg) after all three narrowly missed out in their respective finals.

The remarkable campaign underlined India’s growing status as one of the strongest boxing nations in the Commonwealth.

Para athletics delivers golden one-two

India celebrated a memorable result in the Men’s F57 Shot Put, where Soman Rana produced a gold medal-winning performance.

Adding to the celebrations, Shubham Juyal claimed silver to complete an Indian one-two on the podium.

Athletics continues medal surge

Indian athletics once again featured prominently on the podium.

In the men’s triple jump, Praveen Chithravel secured silver while Selva Prabhu Thirumaran claimed bronze, recreating India’s double podium from Birmingham.

Distance runner Gulveer Singh added another historic chapter to his remarkable campaign by winning bronze in the men’s 5000m.

The medal made him the first Indian to win two track medals at a single Commonwealth Games, having earlier claimed silver in the 10,000m.

Unnati Sharma adds judo bronze

India’s medal tally in judo also received another boost.

Unnati Sharma defeated South Africa’s Skye Knoester with a superb ippon in the women’s -63kg bronze-medal contest, ensuring India continued its best-ever Commonwealth Games campaign in the sport.

Mixed fortunes elsewhere

Not every event brought success for India.

Harsh Tokas narrowly missed out on a medal after losing the men’s -81kg bronze-medal bout, while Karanjit Singh Maan and Inunganbi Takhellambam exited through the repechage rounds.

In athletics, Priyanka Goswami finished fourth in the women’s 10,000m race walk, while Ravina Gayakwad was disqualified.

The cycling team endured a disappointing day as the sprint riders failed to progress and Dinesh Kumar and Harshveer Singh Sekhon did not finish the men’s 10km scratch race qualification.
