Adani was worth nearly $126 billion in January, making him the world's third-richest person at the time.

The list also reveals that the majority of the decline in combined wealth among the 169 Indian billionaires on the list came from the stock rout of companies in the Adani Group, following fraud allegations by Hindenburg Research.
