Even as the country is facing economic hiccups and the
government facing criticisms from various quarters over its handling of the
economy, the wealthiest people in India do not seem to be affected. In spite of
businesses facing difficulties in the aftermath of the government’s
demonetisation of high-value currency last November and its rollout of the
goods and services tax (GST) regime in July this year, India’s
100 wealthiest tycoons have seen their combined net worth zooming to a
whopping $479 billion, up 26 per cent from $374 billion in 2016.
According to the Forbes’ annual list of India’s 100 richest
tycoons, Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani remains the country’s
richest, with a net worth of $38 billion, Wipro Chairman Azim Premji is a
distant second on the list with exactly half the wealth. His net worth stands
at $19 billion.(read
