Adani Dominates the Real Estate Sector...

The Adani family, led by India's richest businessman Gautam Adani, has emerged as the wealthiest family in the country's real estate sector, according to the 2026 Grohe Hurun India Real Estate 150 Report. Despite challenging market conditions, the value of Adani Properties surged by 72.5% over the past year, increasing by ₹38,000 crore to reach ₹90,400 crore.

The report stated that Pranav Adani and Rajesh Adani lead Adani Properties, which has developed several real estate projects across India. The company also secured the prestigious Dharavi redevelopment project in Mumbai. With 100% ownership in the company, the Adani family has become the richest family in India's real estate sector. Adani Properties also climbed to the fourth position among the country's most valuable real estate companies and became the most valuable unlisted real estate company.

Despite Adani's remarkable growth, the overall real estate sector witnessed a slowdown. The BSE Realty Index declined by 20%, while the combined value of the top 150 real estate companies increased by just 2% to ₹16.5 lakh crore, marking the slowest growth in the past nine years.

Meanwhile, DLF retained its position as India's most valuable real estate company with a market capitalization of ₹1.46 lakh crore. However, promoter Rajiv Singh's family slipped to the second position among the richest real estate families. Lodha Developers, IHCL, and OYO's Prism also featured among the country's most valuable real estate companies, while several Hyderabad-based firms secured places in the rankings.
