Adani family tops India’s 2026 real estate rich list after Adani Properties rose to ₹90,400 crore in value. The family surpassed DLF’s Rajiv Singh, although DLF retained its position as India’s most valuable real estate company amid a wider property-sector slowdown.
The Adani family tops India’s 2026 real estate rich list after a sharp rise in the value of Adani Properties, according to the GROHE-Hurun India Real Estate 150 report released on Tuesday, July 14, 2026.
Gautam Adani and his family were assigned real estate wealth of ₹90,400 crore, placing them ahead of DLF Chairman Rajiv Singh and his family for the first time. The Adani family’s wealth increased by about 73% because it fully owns the real estate business.
Adani Properties Valuation Rises Sharply
Ahmedabad-based Adani Properties added approximately ₹38,000 crore in value during the year, recording the largest absolute increase among the companies covered by the ranking.
Its enterprise value climbed to ₹90,400 crore, helping the company move four positions to fourth place among India’s most valuable real estate businesses. It also remained the country’s highest-valued unlisted real estate developer.
The report attributed much of the increase to the Adani Group bringing its property operations together under an integrated platform.
DLF Remains India’s Most Valuable Real Estate Company
Despite losing the top position on the entrepreneur wealth list, DLF remained India’s most valuable real estate company.
The Gurugram-based developer was valued at ₹1.46 lakh crore as of the report’s May 29, 2026, cutoff date. That represented a year-over-year decline of 29.3%. Rajiv Singh and his family ranked second on the real estate rich list with estimated wealth of ₹90,200 crore.
Lodha Developers retained second place in the company ranking with a valuation of ₹93,700 crore. Indian Hotels Company ranked third at ₹93,300 crore, while Prism, the parent company associated with OYO, placed fifth at ₹67,200 crore.
India Property Market Records Slower Growth
The combined value of the 151 companies covered by the report increased by only 2% to ₹16.5 lakh crore. This was the weakest annual growth recorded since the ranking was introduced.
Only 31 companies increased in value, while 74 recorded declines. The slowdown coincided with a roughly 20% fall in the BSE Realty Index and weaker sentiment toward listed property businesses.
The rankings show that Adani Properties achieved substantial private-market value growth even as many publicly traded developers faced falling share prices. Future rankings will depend on whether the broader property market recovers and whether Adani Properties can maintain its valuation gains.
