Gautam Adani Net Worth Rise: Adani Group Chairman Moves Closer to Becoming India’s Richest Person As His Wealth Jumps USD 13 Billion in 2 Days

New Delhi, September 23: Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani’s net worth surged by $13 billion in just two days, driven by a sharp rally in the group companies’ shares. According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, Gautam Adani’s wealth now stands at $95.7 billion, placing him just behind Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani, whose fortune has dipped to $98.6 billion.

So far this year, Gautam Adani’s net worth has grown by $17.1 billion, more than double the $8.02 billion increase recorded in Mukesh Ambani’s net worth. The spike in Adani Group stocks follows a clean chit from the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) in the Hindenburg short-selling case. In its final order, the market regulator dismissed allegations of fund routing and related-party transactions, confirming that the conglomerate had not violated any regulations. Hindenburg Adani Case: Sebi Gives Clean Chit to Gautam Adani and Adani Group Over Hindenburg Research’s Allegations.

Market confidence has been reflected strongly in stock prices. In the last three sessions, Adani Power has soared nearly 30 per cent, Adani Total Gas 18 per cent, Adani Green Energy 15 per cent, and Adani Energy Solutions over 10 per cent. Adani Enterprises has gained more than 11 per cent, while Adani Ports has risen nearly 3 per cent.

Earlier, the Adani Group Chairman had urged the Group staff to accelerate the pace of innovation and drive bold advances in energy, logistics, and other infrastructure that push the very edges of possibility, as the cloud of the Hindenburg case over the conglomerate has been lifted with the SEBI verdict rejecting the allegations of the US short-seller. “We must build not for today’s applause but for a legacy that endures for decades. Headlines fade, but what we create must leave its mark on history,” Gautam Adani said in a letter to the Group’s staff. ‘Hindenburg Claims Were Baseless’: Gautam Adani Speaks on SEBI Orders, Says ‘Those Who Spread False Narratives Owe Nation Apology’.

“Today, a cloud that had hung over us for more than two years has been lifted. SEBI’s comprehensive investigation has concluded by rejecting all allegations contained in the Hindenburg report from January 2023,” the letter states. Globally, Elon Musk continues to top the billionaires list with a net worth of $452 billion, followed by Larry Ellison ($388 billion), Mark Zuckerberg ($269 billion), Jeff Bezos ($250 billion), and Larry Page ($221 billion). Among Indians, Mukesh Ambani currently ranks 18th worldwide, while Adani is placed 19th.
