Of the 284 billionaires, 175 increased their net worth while 109 retained or lost some of their wealth.

A total of 45 billionaires were inducted into India’s list of billionaires this year. While 130 Indian billionaires saw growth in their wealth, the figures for China and the USA were much higher: 285 and 544 billionaires, respectively. Interestingly, the wealth of Indian billionaires increased by 10 percent over the previous year, ahead of China’s growth by 9 percent, but it still pales in comparison with the American surge of 27 percent.

India is steadily increasing its billionaire count and is thus carving a niche for itself in the global wealth map toward making an even stronger economic impact in coming years.
