The 2024 Hurun India Rich List has set a new milestone, revealing an unprecedented surge in the wealth of India’s elite. For the first time in its history, the list has surpassed the 1,500 mark, featuring an astounding 1,539 individuals, each with a net worth exceeding Rs 1,000 crore. This remarkable growth in the number of ultra-rich individuals underscores the rapidly expanding wealth landscape in the country.

At the top of the list is Gautam Adani and his family, who have seen an extraordinary 95% increase in their wealth over the past year. Their total wealth now stands at a staggering Rs 1,161,800 crore, making them the wealthiest in India. The Adani family’s remarkable financial growth, despite facing significant challenges, is a testament to their resilience and strategic acumen.

Dilip Shanghvi, the founder of Sun Pharmaceutical Industries, rounds out the top five, emphasizing the importance of the pharmaceutical industry in India’s economic fabric.

Over the past five years, six individuals have consistently held positions within the India Top 10. These stalwarts include Gautam Adani, Mukesh Ambani, Shiv Nadar, Cyrus S. Poonawalla, Gopichand Hinduja, and Radhakishan Damani. The resilience and consistent performance of these individuals in the face of global economic fluctuations highlight their strategic brilliance and business acumen.

The surge in Adani Group’s wealth is largely attributed to the significant increase in share prices across its companies. Adani Ports, for instance, experienced a 98% increase, driven by improved utilization levels and strategic acquisitions. The energy-focused companies within the group—Adani Energy, Adani Gas, Adani Transmission, and Adani Power—averaged a 76% growth in share price, showcasing the robust performance of the conglomerate’s energy sector.

The 2024 Hurun report also noted MSCI’s decision to lift restrictions on Adani Group securities in its August 2024 review. This move is seen as a positive indication of a return to normal operations for key stocks like Adani Enterprises, Adani Ports, and Ambuja Cements, further stabilizing the group’s outlook.

POWER CORRIDORS

Former Vice President Venkaiah Naidu commended Power Corridors as a commendable news magazine, affirming that it not only upholds Media Dharma but also fulfills its societal obligations. Power Corridors, as its name implies, delves into realpolitik—examining the essence of influential circles, unraveling the intricacies of political maneuvers, and exploring the pulse of the state’s affairs. However, it transcends mere power dynamics, encompassing a broader spectrum of issues beyond the confines of Delhi’s elite circles.

For PC, which is published by the Interactive Forum on Indian Economy, not only highlights the issues of the day but also throws up what ought to be the subjects that the country should be debating about. It reports about the plans, strategies, and agendas of politicians and others; it also sets the agenda for the nation.
