How we track India's richest in real time
For Indian billionaires, most wealth is tied to companies listed on the NSE and BSE — like Reliance Industries, the Adani group, and the big IT and cement houses. We take each person's estimated stake, multiply it by the live share price in rupees, and convert to US dollars using the current exchange rate, so an INR move on Dalal Street flows straight through to the ranking.
Fortunes rooted in privately-held businesses (family conglomerates, unlisted arms) are added as a static estimate that we update by hand. Figures are independent, directional estimates for information only — not audited valuations, and not affiliated with Forbes India or any official rich list.
