Four women feature in this year's Forbes list of 100 richest Indians including OP Jindal group Chairperson Savitri Jindal and generic drugs maker USV Pharma Chairperson leena Tewari. Wife of Havells founder, Vinod Gupta and Indu Jain of Bennett, Coleman & Co are the other two women in the list.
The four women have a collective wealth of $9.2 billion and account for nearly three per cent of the total networth of all in the coveted list whose collective wealth amount to $345 billion.
Jindal has retained the tag of being the richest woman in India with a networth of $3.8 billion, according to the annual India rich list compiled by business magazine Forbes.
“After recovering last year, Savitri Jindal's OP Jindal group, which she chairs, saw its fortunes decline, mostly from a sharp fall in shares of Jindal Steel & Power, run by younger son Naveen.”
The company shut down operations at its Australian mine, citing mounting losses,” Forbes said.
