India Sends Reduced Team to 2026 Commonwealth Games Focusing on Athletics, Boxing, Weightlifting
India will send a reduced contingent of around 125-126 athletes to the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow from July 23 to August 2. The Games feature a scaled-down program with only 10 sports, excluding traditional medal-rich disciplines like wrestling, badminton, hockey, and shooting. India's medal hopes now focus on athletics, boxing, and weightlifting, led by stars such as Neeraj Chopra, Mirabai Chanu, and Lovlina Borgohain. The event will use existing venues across Glasgow, with para-sports integrated into six disciplines. India aims to maintain its strong Commonwealth Games performance despite the trimmed schedule.
