India richest billionaires 2025: The year 2025 has now reached its final stage and while this year will be remembered for many big achievements, economic ups and downs and global events, it has also proved to be very important for the rich and billionaire families of India. While the sharp fluctuations in the stock market, high tariffs of the US and other countries, global economic uncertainty and sectoral pressures led to a huge decline in the wealth of some big industrialists, this year proved to be “lucky” for some select billionaires and there was a tremendous increase in their net worth.
loss to these billionaires
If we talk about those billionaires who suffered the most loss in the year 2025, then the name of RJ Corp Chairman Ravi Jaipuria tops the list. Due to increasing tax concerns and increasing competition in the beverage sector, there was constant pressure on his companies, which had a direct impact on his wealth. Apart from this, the slowdown in the real estate sector has affected DLF’s K.P. Mangal Prabhat of Singh and Lodha Group was also clearly visible on the net worth of Lodha.
Due to slowing down of property sales in big cities and weakness in the shares of real estate companies, there was a decline in their properties. At the same time, due to pressure in the IT and pharma sector, this year there was a significant decline in the assets of veteran industrialists like Cyrus Poonawala, Azim Premji, Shiv Nadar and Dilip Shanghvi.
These billionaires became rich
On the other hand, the year 2025 was very good for some billionaires and their wealth increased rapidly. The biggest name in this list was that of Steel King Lakshmi Mittal, who was included in the top gainers of 2025. He benefited greatly from the strength in ArcelorMittal’s shares, better business performance and Europe’s favorable trade policy, which led to a huge jump in his net worth.
The wealth of Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani also increased, where the excellent performance in telecom, retail and energy sectors further strengthened the confidence of investors in Reliance shares. Similarly, 2025 also proved to be very profitable for Eicher Motors founder Vikram Lal due to strong sales of Royal Enfield and increase in exports.
Apart from this, names like Aditya Birla Group Chairman Kumar Mangalam Birla, Bharti Airtel Chairman Sunil Mittal, industrialist Nusli Wadia and banking sector veteran Uday Kotak were also included among those billionaires, whose wealth increased significantly during the year 2025. Overall, the year 2025 made it clear that while some sectors and business models remained under pressure due to the changing global and domestic economic conditions, industrialists who took advantage of strong strategy, right sector selection and favorable policies were seen becoming rich this year.
If we talk about Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani, the year 2025 was overall a mixed but strategically strong year for him. On one hand, the group faced global scrutiny and uncertainties, on the other hand, several big and important steps strengthened the long-term growth story of Adani Group.
During the year 2025, the Group made strategic acquisitions such as Vidarbha Industries Power Limited, which further strengthened its position in the power sector. Record passenger numbers were recorded at airports operated under Adani Airports, reflecting the group’s strong hold in the aviation business. Additionally, announcements of major investments of $15 to 20 billion in Navi Mumbai International Airport, data centres, green energy and infrastructure related sectors gave a clear signal to investors and the market that the Adani Group is focusing on future growth in an aggressive but planned manner.
The most important thing is that after getting a clean chit in the investigation by American agencies, the uncertainty surrounding the Adani Group was removed to a great extent, which strengthened the market’s confidence in the group’s credibility and future prospects. Overall, 2025 was a balanced year of challenges and opportunities for the Adani Group, laying a strong foundation for the years ahead.
