Mukesh Ambani Tops Forbes 100 India’s Richest 2025 List with USD 105 Billion Net Worth.

Awards | Dated: 11 Oct 2025

In October 2025, Forbes, the American global media company, released the latest edition of “Forbes 100 India’s Richest 2025” list. Mukesh Ambani, Chairman and Managing Director (CMD) of Reliance Industries Limited (RIL), retained his position as India’s richest man for the 14th consecutive year, with a net worth of USD 105 billion despite a 12% decline from the previous year.

🎯 Key Highlights:

  • - Gautam Adani, founder and chairman of the Adani Group, secured the 2nd position on the list with a total wealth of USD 92 billion. Savitri Jindal, the matriarch of the OP Jindal Group, reclaimed the 3rd position with a net worth of USD 40.2 billion, highlighting her continued dominance among India’s top business figures.
  • - The minimum net worth required to feature on the Forbes list slightly decreased from USD 3.3 billion in 2024 to USD 3.2 billion in 2025. This adjustment led to the exclusion of seven billionaires from this year’s ranking, marking a notable shift in India’s billionaire landscape.
  • - According to Forbes, the combined wealth of India’s top 100 richest individuals fell by 9%—a reduction of around USD 100 billion—bringing the total to USD 1 trillion in 2025. The decline was largely attributed to a weaker Indian rupee and a 3% drop in the benchmark Sensex since the last assessment.

💡 Other Important Facts:

  • (i) Sunil Bharti Mittal, founder and chairman of Bharti Enterprises, emerged as the biggest gainer on the list. His net worth surged by USD 3.5 billion to reach USD 34.2 billion, propelling him from the 7th to the 4th position in the Forbes 2025 rankings.
  • (ii) The remaining top positions were secured by Shiv Nadar of HCL Technologies (5th with USD 33.2 billion), Radhakishan Damani of Avenue Supermarts Limited (DMart) (6th with USD 28.2 billion), and Dilip Shangvi of Sun Pharmaceutical Industries (7th with USD 26.3 billion).
