Savitri Jindal, the matriarch of the OP Jindal Group and an MLA in Haryana, is now the richest woman in India, according to the Forbes Billionaire List 2025.
With a net worth of $35.5 billion, she has secured the third spot among India’s wealthiest, trailing Mukesh Ambani and Gautam Adani.
The Jindal Group Chairperson’s empire spans steel, power, cement, and infrastructure. The company was founded by her late husband, Om Prakash Jindal, who died in a helicopter crash in 2005. Following his death, the business was divided among their four sons.
Her Mumbai-based son, Sajjan Jindal, leads JSW Steel, JSW Cement, and JSW Paints, and took JSW Infrastructure public in 2023. In 2024, he expanded into electric vehicles by acquiring a 35 per cent stake in MG Motor India, a subsidiary of China’s SAIC Motor.
