Adani Group owner Gautam Adani’s net worth has risen dramatically over the past few years, making him the richest person in the country with a net worth of Rs 11.61 lakh crore in 2024. But the group earning such a large number is far behind in paying taxes in the country. He has not seen any significant contribution to the country’s exchequer.Not a single Adani Group company is included in the list of companies paying the highest corporate tax in the country. Reliance, two Tata Group companies, three government and other banks are among the top 10 companies paying corporate tax in the country. But among the nine companies listed in the stock market of Adani Group, not a single company is involved. Looking at the figures of companies paying corporate tax, Adani Enterprises, the flagship company of the Adani Group, is nowhere in the top-10.
