Six of the top ten corporate groups in the nation by sales reported group profits that increased by more than 35% annually over these years. Groups that heavily invest in industrial metals like steel and non-ferrous metals were the top gainers.
The 10 largest corporate groups in the nation recorded a total net profit of Rs. 2.57 trillion (US$ 32.53 billion) in FY22, up from Rs. 1.16 trillion (US$ 14.68 billion) at the end of FY19 at a CAGR of 30.6%. With overall profits of Rs. 74,540 crore (US$ 9.43 billion) in FY22, Tatas led the league table for earnings, followed by Reliance Industries Rs. 60,776 crore (US$ 7.69 billion), and JSW Group Rs. 22,547 crore (US$ 2.85 billion).
The Adani Group (44.9% CAGR rise in group profits), the AV Birla Group (41.3% CAGR), and Vedanta are three other leading business groups with greater growth in earnings over the past three years (35.2%). The Vodafone Idea joint venture between the AV Birla group and Vodafone Plc in the UK is not included in the group figures.
