The Adani Group’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) for FY26 began on Tuesday, with chairman Gautam Adani commenting on India’s resilience amid ongoing global conflicts, bribery allegations, and key updates across the conglomerate’s businesses, including its energy, airport, and other segments.
Industrialist Gautam Adani has been ranked the 25th richest person in the world, according to the latest Forbes Real-Time Billionaires List. As of now, his net worth stands at $63.1 billion, a significant recovery from the lows seen in early 2023.
Adani, the chairman of the Ahmedabad-headquartered Adani Group, oversees a vast empire with interests spanning ports, airports, power generation and transmission, and green energy. The group began as a commodities trading firm in 1988 and has grown into one of India’s most influential conglomerates, often seen as aligned with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s infrastructure push.
The billionaire's financial standing suffered a major blow in January 2023 after US-based Hindenburg Research accused the Adani Group of stock manipulation and accounting fraud. While the group denied any wrongdoing, the fallout led to a sharp fall in the value of its listed companies.
However, the tide turned a year later when India’s Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Adani Group, effectively clearing the way for renewed investor confidence. Since then, the group's market value has rebounded significantly, contributing to Gautam Adani's climb back into the top 30 richest people globally.
Adani is currently India’s largest airport operator and controls Mundra Port, the country’s biggest commercial port located in Gujarat. His infrastructure expansion continues to attract both global investment and regulatory scrutiny.
Despite volatility, Gautam Adani remains a central figure in India’s economic landscape, and his net worth trajectory reflects both the ambition and fragility of rapid industrial growth in emerging markets.
