As per the Bloomberg’s Billionaire Index, Gautam Adani has overthrown Mukesh Ambani to reclaim his spot as the country’s richest man.

This shift in rankings is thanks to the recent surge in Adani Group stocks. The latest boost is driven by various factors, including the Supreme Court expressing confidence in SEBI’s (Securities and Exchange Board of India) investigation into the Adani-Hindenburg saga.
Adani had experienced an incredible rout in his wealth after the Hindenburg report came out last January. The report led to several of the Group’s listed stocks losing over 70% of market value. However, the stocks have now made a considerable recovery.
Adani Ports, Adani Energy Solutions, Adani Total Gas and Adani Power have surged up to 110% in the last six months.
