Indian tycoon Gautam Adani surpassed fellow businessman Mukesh Ambani in net worth this week, reaching $97.6 billion according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. Adani’s wealth increased by approximately $7.7 billion during this period.
Gautam Adani has regained his position as Asia’s wealthiest individual, according to the Bloomberg index of billionaires. This comes a year after his conglomerate, Adani Group, suffered significant losses due to market manipulation allegations. Adani’s fortune saw a sharp decline of around $80 billion, but he and his business have managed to recover much of those losses.
Adani’s net worth increased by approximately $7.7 billion this week, reaching $97.6 billion, making him slightly wealthier than fellow Indian magnate Mukesh Ambani. Currently, they rank as the 12th and 13th richest individuals globally, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
Shares in Adani Group companies saw an increase this week following a Supreme Court ruling that dismissed a petition seeking a wider investigation into the Hindenburg allegations.
The Supreme Court deemed the ongoing investigations by market regulators to be sufficient. Adani expressed gratitude for the support received and affirmed the continuation of their contribution to India’s growth story.
Adani has consistently refuted the fraud allegations outlined in the Hindenburg report, labeling it a deliberate attempt to harm the reputation of the conglomerate for the benefit of short-sellers.
Prior to the report, Adani Group experienced a significant increase in its stock prices, particularly with its primary listed unit which saw a rise of over 1,000 percent in the five years leading up to January 2023. This surge in profits allowed the conglomerate to rapidly expand across various sectors such as coal mining, renewable energy, ports, and airports.
Adani’s association with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who also hails from Gujarat state, has raised allegations of unfair business practices and inadequate scrutiny. These claims have been made by opposition parties and other critics.
