India have won 12 medals at the Commonwealth Games 2026 so far, with weightlifting leading the charge. Mirabai Chanu delivered the nation’s first gold, winning her third consecutive CWG title in the women’s 48kg category with a combined lift of 190kg. Rishikanta Singh, Muthupandi Raja, Gyaneshwari Yadav, and Valluri Ajaya Babu added silver medals in their respective weight categories, while Bindyarani Devi secured a bronze. On Tuesday, Harjinder Kaur also grabbed a silver in the women’s 69kg Final while Gulveer Singh also notched up a silver of his own in the men’s 10,000m final.

In para athletics, Sharmila Dhankar made history by claiming India’s first-ever gold in the discipline with a season-best throw of 9.81m in the women’s shot put F57 event, while Shilpa Shyla added a bronze in the same category. Jhandu Kumar opened India’s medal account with a bronze in para powerlifting, and Sarvesh Kushare won silver in the men’s high jump.
