The Games have a reduced program compared to 2022, excluding sports like wrestling and badminton, which may impact India's medal tally. The Indian para contingent includes 28 athletes competing in five disciplines, with a send-off ceremony held recently. The event will be hosted across existing venues in Glasgow.
