The report shows a clear nationalisation trend — 60 per cent of companies operate beyond their home state, and 17 now have a global footprint. This growing geographic spread reflects how India’s real estate champions are building brands that are national in scale and global in ambition.”

The report also revealed that 33 of the top 150 companies are run by professional CEOs who do not belong to the founding family, indicating a shift towards professional management. Four out of the 150 companies on the list are led by women.
Rajiv Singh of the DLF group tops the list of India’s wealthiest real estate entrepreneurs. He is followed by Mangal Prabhat Lodha and family of Lodha Developers, with Gautam Adani of Adani Realty ranking third. The report highlights a more inclusive, entrepreneurial ecosystem that is building brands beyond generational family firms. The average age of company heads is 67, yet the youngest leader is 31, showing that India’s real estate leadership is both seasoned and evolving.
Other cities in the Top 10 are Gurugram, Chennai, Ahmedabad, Noida, and Kolkata. This report underscores the robust growth and national expansion of India’s real estate sector, driven by both seasoned and emerging leaders.
