India's ultra-rich population grows four-fold in five years

The number of people in India who earn more than Rs 100 crore each year has grown a lot in the last five years.

The government says this number has gone up four times from 2021 to 2026.

Private studies also show that India has many very rich people, and the wealth is not shared equally.

The richest people in India have a lot more money than the rest, and this gap has not been getting smaller.

Some studies say that the richest families have seen their wealth grow a lot, while the poorest half of the population has very little wealth.
