Up to 100 richest men in India: Forbes list

On October 3, 2026, Forbes tracked 100 male billionaires with India as their country of citizenship. The list below is ordered by estimated net worth in U.S. dollars.

Forbes tracks billionaires, not every wealthy person. Fewer than 100 entries does not mean there are no other wealthy men in India; it means the public list has fewer qualifying names.
