Gautam Adani’s wealth from the real estate sector declined by 7% to Rs 52,320 crore in the year ending June 2025, making him the third-richest individual in the sector, according to a report released on Thursday.
Despite the dip, Adani whose key projects include the Dharavi and Motilal Nagar redevelopments in Mumbai is expected to become the wealthiest individual in the real estate sector within the next five years, according to insights from Hurun Research and GROHE based on informal discussions.
At present, DLF’s Rajiv Singh is the wealthiest on the Grohe-Hurun India Real Estate 150 list with a fortune of Rs 1.27 lakh crore and is followed by BJP leader and Maharashtra minister Mangal Prabhat Lodha with a Rs 92,340 crore wealth.
What Hurun India’s Report Say On Gautam Adani?
“Adani is very ambitious. Their ambition is to take over from DLF to be at the top in the next five years,” Hurun India’s chief researcher and founder Anas Rahman Junaid told reporters. Grohe’s leader for India Priya Rustogi also concurred.
Adani Realty, which is completely owned by the Adani family, is already the most valuable unlisted real estate company, Rahman said, adding that the researchers use a scientific way to assess wealth across the sector.
Lodha’s wealth includes only that of his stake in the listed Macrotech Developers and excludes that of his son Abhinandan Lodha, Rahman said.
