India participated in the Commonwealth Games 2026 held in Glasgow, Scotland. Prime Minister Narendra Modi publicly praised the Indian contingent's performance. Glasgow hosted the Games for the second time, having previously hosted the 2014 edition. The Commonwealth Games 2026 marks a significant event in international multi-sport competition, with India historically ranking among the top medal-winning nations. The PM's statement signals strong national interest in India's sporting performance at this quadrennial multi-sport event organised by the Commonwealth Games Federation.

The Commonwealth Games (CWG) is a quadrennial multi-sport event involving athletes from Commonwealth of Nations member countries. It is governed by the Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF), headquartered in London. Glasgow, Scotland is notable for hosting CWG twice — in 2014 and again in 2026 — making it the first city to host the modern Commonwealth Games twice in the post-2000 era.

For exam purposes, examiners test: the host city and country, the edition number, India's rank and medal count, and satellite facts like which city previously hosted or which edition was cancelled/modified. The 2022 CWG was held in Birmingham, England. The 2018 CWG was held in Gold Coast, Australia.

India has historically been a top-5 nation at the Commonwealth Games. Examiners typically test India's gold medal count, total medal tally, and which sports contributed most medals. Wrestling, weightlifting, badminton, boxing, and shooting (when included) are India's historically dominant sports at CWG.

Note: Shooting was excluded from CWG 2022 Birmingham but its inclusion status in 2026 Glasgow is a distractor-worthy fact. The examiner pattern for RBI Grade B frequently uses fill-in-the-blank on host city, edition, and medal count — making Glasgow 2026 a high-probability test item across all three exams.
