Adani’s wealth jumped by more than $6 billion following the rally in Adani Group stocks.
With the rally continuing into its second day, the majority of Adani Group companies were in green on Wednesday.

Adani is the second richest Indian in the list behind 13th placed Mukesh Ambani, who has an estimated total net worth of $89.5 billion.
