The Hurun India Rich List 2025 has revealed the country’s wealthiest individuals, with Reliance chairman Mukesh Ambani once again at the top, followed by Adani Group’s Gautam Adani. Together, the two magnates account for a significant portion of India’s corporate wealth, underlining the dominance of energy, infrastructure, and technology in shaping fortunes.
Ambani leads the list with an estimated net worth of ₹9.55 lakh crore, thanks to Reliance’s strong foothold across energy, telecom, retail, and new investments in green hydrogen. Adani, despite facing regulatory challenges, remains close behind with ₹8.14 lakh crore, driven by infrastructure and renewable energy expansion.
A notable entry is Roshni Nadar Malhotra, chairperson of HCL Technologies, ranking third with ₹2.84 lakh crore. She retains her position as India’s richest woman, highlighting the sustained strength of India’s IT services exports. Pharma giant Cyrus Poonawalla and industrialist Kumar Mangalam Birla round out the top five.
