The ranking depends on method: Reliance Industries owns most of Jio, and adding both in full counts that stake twice.<\/em><\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#F0F9FF;border-left:4px solid #2E7D32;border-radius:6px;padding:14px 18px;margin:18px 0;\">\n<p style=\"margin:0;color:#1F4E79;font-size:14px;\"><strong>Quick Answer<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:8px 0 0;\">The Reliance Group market cap rose above Rs 30 lakh crore on 28 Oct 2026 after Jio Platforms listed at about Rs 13.05 lakh crore, which puts it ahead of the Tata Group at about Rs 25.51 lakh crore, according to Business Today and Bloomberg data. The ranking depends on method, because adding Jio Platforms in full to Reliance Industries, which owns about 64% of it, counts that stake twice, and on my overlap-adjusted estimate the group is closer to Rs 22.0 lakh crore. Adani Group is third at about Rs 16.68 lakh crore. This is educational and not a recommendation.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The Reliance Group market cap has jumped by more than Rs 12 lakh crore in two weeks, and the headline that Reliance has become the most valuable conglomerate in India is correct on the usual method. This article explains how the Reliance Group market cap adds up, how it compares with the Tata Group market cap and the other large groups, why double counting changes the answer, and what could move the gap next, using prices as of 3:44 PM IST.<\/p>\n<p>The sources differ on small points. Business Today says Tata was second on Tuesday, although 28 Oct is a Wednesday, and it gives Reliance only as above Rs 30 lakh crore. I rebuilt the total from the data provider and earlier Business Today figures, and I used the DRHP holding of 66.43% as reported by a secondary site. It is educational and not advice.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:24px;\"><strong><a

Remove it and the Reliance Group market cap is closer to Rs 22.0 lakh crore, which would be below the Tata Group. Neither Business Today nor Bloomberg addresses the overlap in the pieces I could read, so the headline and my estimate are two ways to count and not a contradiction.<\/p>\n<p>Religare Securities said that listing Jio could reduce the holding company discount at Reliance Industries, which would lift the parent&#8217;s price over time. If that happens, the Reliance Group market cap would rise on both methods.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Indias_Largest_Business_Groups_by_Market_Cap\"><\/span><strong>India&#8217;s Largest Business Groups by Market Cap<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<table style=\"border-collapse:collapse;width:100%;\">\n<tr>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;background:#0A0E1A;color:#FFFFFF;\">Reliance Group market cap: group<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;background:#0A0E1A;color:#FFFFFF;\">16 Oct (Business Today)<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;background:#0A0E1A;color:#FFFFFF;\">28 Oct<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Tata Group (27 listed companies)<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Rs 25.92 lakh crore<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">About Rs 25.51 lakh crore<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Reliance Group<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Rs 18.05 lakh crore<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Above Rs 30 lakh crore<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Adani Group<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Rs 17.23 lakh crore<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">About Rs 16.68 lakh crore<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">HDFC Group<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Nearly Rs 13.9 lakh crore<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Not retrieved<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Aditya Birla Group<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">More than Rs 10.20 lakh crore<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Not retrieved<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p>The Tata Group&#8217;s total slipped from Rs 25.92 lakh crore to about Rs 25.51 lakh crore over the period, and Tata Consultancy Services fell 1.48% to Rs 2,460 today, while Titan, Tata Steel, Trent and Tata Motors are the other large contributors.
