The List at a Glance
- 1,810 people each hold at least ₹1,000 crore (about $105 million).
- India now has 391 dollar billionaires, a record, after adding 27 in the past year.
- LN Mittal and family jumped to third after their wealth rose by ₹1.64 lakh crore (about $17.2 billion).
- Entrants linked to artificial intelligence hold a combined ₹3.07 lakh crore (about $32.2 billion).
How to Convert Lakh Crore to Billions
One lakh crore is 1 followed by 12 zeros: 1 trillion rupees.
At today's rate (₹95.29 per dollar), ₹1 lakh crore ≈ $10.5 billion. So a quick rule is:
Lakh crore × the dollar value of one lakh crore = the fortune in dollars
- ₹9.23 lakh crore ≈ $96.9 billion
- ₹1 lakh crore ≈ $10.5 billion
- ₹1,000 crore ≈ $105 million
The multiplier changes when the rupee moves, which is why the same fortune can "rise" in rupees and "fall" in dollars in the same year.
Why Rupee and Dollar Rankings Can Disagree
Rich lists compiled in dollars (like Forbes or Bloomberg) and lists compiled in rupees (like Hurun India) value shares on different dates and at different exchange rates. With the rupee near record lows in 2026, a fortune can grow in rupee terms while shrinking in dollar terms. Always check which currency, and which date, a ranking uses.
