New Delhi: In a significant development on Tuesday, Hurun India released its list of the country's most valuable first-generation family businesses, i.e., those built from scratch by the current generation. As per the Hurun India list, the Adani family, led by billionaire Gautam Adani, has topped the list with companies like Adani Enterprises and Adani Ports, holding a combined value of Rs 14 lakh crore. Notable, in a point of surprise, Mukesh Ambani's name is absent because the Reliance empire is not a first-generation business. Who are the top first-generation businesses?
The Poonawalla family (Serum Institute, Rs 2.3 lakh crore) is second, followed by Murali K. Divi's family (Divi's Laboratories, Rs 1.8 lakh crore). Other notable names include the Nuwal family (Solar Industries, Rs 1.6 lakh crore), Reddy family (Apollo Hospitals, Rs 1 lakh crore), and Gandhi family (GMR, Rs 98,300 crore). What's the total business worth of Ambani family?
Notably, the Ambani family led by Mukesh Ambani has combined business value of Rs 28.2 lakh crore, which is about 1/12th of India's GDP. Adani Realty most valuable unlisted company on 'Hurun Real Estate List 2025'
Meanwhile, Gautam Adani's Adani Realty has once again secured its position as the most valuable unlisted real estate company on the '2025 GROHE-Hurun India Real Estate 150 list'. Valued at Rs 52,400 crore, Adani Realty continues its focus on large-scale urban projects and redevelopment initiatives across Indian cities, as noted in the report by Hurun Research Institute.
The report said that India's top real estate firms are valued at Rs 16 lakh crore or $188 billion, up by Rs 1.9 lakh crore.
