The Hinduja family continues to dominate the UK's 'Sunday Times Rich List', securing the top spot for 2026 with an impressive 38 billion pounds, a rise from last year. This comes under the leadership of Sanjay and Dheeraj Hinduja, who have taken over after the passing of their father, Gopichand Hinduja.
Operating across 38 countries, the Hinduja Group's ventures include mobility, digital technology, and real estate. Key enterprises like Gulf Oil International and Ashok Leyland underscore the group's diversity and strength, particularly as the share price of the latter surged by 40% amidst India's electrification drive.
