Wealth Creators

The 2025 edition of Construction World’s Wealth Creators lands at a time when India’s real-economy flywheel is spinning faster than ever.

Their balance sheets are healthier, capex pipelines are clearer and ESG standards are rising—traits the equity market is rewarding through premium valuations and, in many cases, 25-75 per cent market-cap gains since April 2024...
