Anil Ambani was once richer than Mukesh Ambani! in world's top 10 richest persons list, now how much wealth left with him?
After several setbacks now Anil Ambani is trying to revive his business with the help of his two sons Jay Anshul Ambani and Jay Anmol Ambani. He is also trying to come out of massive debts after some of his company has become debt free.
However he was not in a struggling situation since the start of his career. When the wealth of Mukesh and Anil Ambani was divided, Anil Ambani got companies like Reliance Communications (RCom), Reliance Capital, Reliance Energy, and Reliance Natural Resources. During this time his net worth was higher than his elder brother, Mukesh Ambani.
After the listing of Reliance Power, his net worth increased very much. During peak time his net worth was $42 billion (around Rs 3.5 lakh crore). He was the world's 6th richest person, ahead of Mukesh Ambani at that time.
In 2002, the combined wealth of the two brothers was $2.8 billion, which grew to $6 billion in 2004 and $7 billion in 2005. What Went Wrong for Anil Ambani?
After this success, Anil Ambani's companies faced setbacks due to poor investment decisions, market shifts, and intense competition. Reliance Communications (RCom) suffered heavy losses in the telecom sector.
Anil Ambani's businesses were dependent on heavy debts, which went out of control over time. By February 2020, Anil Ambani declared bankruptcy in a UK court, claiming he no longer had any major assets. Anil Ambani, Mukesh Ambani Current Net Worth
According to March 10, 2025 media reports, Anil Ambani's net worth at just $530 million (Around Rs 4,400 crore), far less than his earlier wealth. Whereas, Mukesh Ambani's net worth is currently around Rs 9.10 lakh crore.
One of Anil Ambani's companies, Reliance Capital, is being sold off to repay creditors. The Hindujas' IndusInd International Holdings Ltd (IIHL) was the highest bidder. IIHL has received approval to increase its stake in the bank from 15% to 26%, and the deal is expected to conclude once it receives clearance from IRDAI.

Tripura's queen variety pineapples sent to Delhi for global delegates
Agartala: The first consignment of fresh queen variety pineapples from Tripura was dispatched to Delhi on Monday with support from the Bengaluru-based International Competence Centre for Organic Agriculture. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Harvested from an orchard in Badyardighi area of Bishalgarh under Sepahijala district, around 150kg of premium-quality pineapples were flown to Delhi on special request from a private trader. The produce will be served to an international delegation. Hanif Mia, a pineapple farmer cultivating one hectare of land, shared that he has already sold Rs 70,000 worth of produce since the season began a month ago. With technical and financial assistance from Bishalgarh horticulture sub-division officials, local farmers are experiencing renewed optimism in pineapple farming. "Like previous years, we will export Queen variety pineapples to the Middle East, Europe, and East Asian countries, along with major Indian metros, in the coming weeks. In the next phase, Kew variety pineapples will be sold in domestic and international markets. Production has been impressive this year, and demand is notably high," said agriculture and farmers welfare minister Ratan Lal Nath. Apart from pineapples, Tripura has seen a substantial yield of mangoes, jackfruits, and watermelons this season. Markets are witnessing a steady supply of crossbred and high-yielding mango varieties, including Amrapali, Himsagar, Rupali, and Anamika, at relatively affordable prices, the minister added. "The supply of mangoes from West Bengal and Uttar Pradesh has significantly declined this season. Even fruit vendors outside Tripura are preferring locally grown mangoes. Our goal is to establish Tripura as a mango supplier in India within the next two to three years, similar to its reputation for pineapples," he said. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Over the past seven years, Tripura's pineapples have gained international recognition, leading to a threefold increase in commercial cultivation driven by rising global demand. Encouraged by this success, farmers have expanded to other crops, with jackfruit and lemon from Tripura being exported to Dubai and London in recent years. Despite the state's potential to produce world-class fruits, farmers have historically struggled with market access. For years, their produce was sold at lower prices in neighbouring Assam or informally traded across the Bangladesh border. Lack of proper market connectivity had once discouraged many farmers, prompting a shift to rubber cultivation. However, since the BJP-led govt assumed office in 2018, significant efforts have been made to promote and market Tripura's horticultural products.
