The 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow will feature a reduced program of 10 sports, down from 21 originally planned in Victoria, which withdrew due to high costs.

Indian officials, including Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya, will attend to monitor athlete welfare and study operational aspects, reflecting a focus on both competition and organizational learning.
