Gautam Adani’s net worth rose to $92.6 billion, placing him 19th globally, while Mukesh Ambani slipped to the 20th position with a net worth of $90.8 billion. The reshuffle at the top highlights the ongoing volatility in global wealth rankings in 2026, amid rising geopolitical tensions and market fluctuations. In Thursday’s stock market session, Adani Group stocks witnessed a sharp rise, outperforming benchmark indices, which led to an increase of around $3.56 billion in Gautam Adani’s net worth in a single day. Globally, Tesla CEO Elon Musk continues to top the list with a net worth of $656 billion, followed by Google co-founder Larry Page at $286 billion. Other names in the top 10 include Amazon's Jeff Bezos, Meta's Mark Zuckerberg, Oracle's Larry Ellison, Dell Technologies' Michael Dell, Nvidia's Jensen Huang and LVMH CEO Bernard Arnault, among others.

Torrent Gas has raised CNG prices by Rs 2.50/kg in Jaipur and Rs 2/kg in Pune rural amid rising input costs. The hike follows a similar increase by Adani Total Gas and comes as fuel prices surge due to supply disruptions from the West Asia conflict, impacting commuters and transport operators

Ahmedabad: Adani Total Gas Ltd increased the price of compressed natural gas (CNG) by Rs 1.50 per kg in Ahmedabad, taking the retail rate to Rs 83.77 .

Indian markets rebounded on Monday as Nifty surged 257 points, led by HDFC Bank, Bajel Projects, and Tejas Networks, while IDBI Bank, Bandhan, Fino Payments Bank, and Adani Total Gas faced sharp losses amid corporate news and investor concerns.

Adani Total Gas shares saw a dip as investors took profits. The company reduced prices for some industrial gas customers. This comes after a government order prioritizing gas for homes and transport. Supply disruptions in West Asia are impacting gas availability. India, a major LPG importer, faces rising cooking gas prices. Restaurants are adapting to the situation.

Shares of Adani Total Gas will be in focus after rising nearly 30% in three sessions despite weak broader markets. The rally follows the government’s Natural Gas (Supply Regulation) Order, 2026, which prioritises gas supply for PNG and CNG users amid Middle East tensions and disruptions linked to the Strait of Hormuz closure, raising concerns over cooking gas availability in India.

Tata Power, Adani Total Gas, TTK Prestige and other top movers saw sharp gains and losses on Thursday as geopolitical tensions and seasonal demand influenced Indian markets.

MUMBAI: Adani Total Gas said Wednesday that gas deliveries to industrial customers in India had been impacted after its own supply was partly curtailed due to the Middle East war. The joint venture between India’s Adani Group and France’s TotalEnergies is a key supplier of natural gas to industries, homes and vehicles in the world’s most populous nation. “Some of the gas suppliers of the company have curtailed the gas supply, which in turn has impacted our supplies to industrial customers,” the firm said in a stock exchange notification. The filing said it was “assessing” the impact of the development, and Indian government orders to more closely control the distribution of natural gas. India is the world’s fourth largest liquefied natural gas (LNG) buyer, and second-largest buyer of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), such as that used for cooking – much of which is sourced from the Middle East.
