India’s family-controlled Tata Group has become the country’s wealthiest company. The group, headed by Ratan Tata, said that its total market value is $98.7 billion, overtaking the combined value of fellow family-controlled Reliance groups, worth a reported $81.6 billion.
The buoyant growth for the Tata Group comes following a rise in share price of its listed companies, while a string of controversies caused a slump in value of Reliance, controlled by the feuding Ambani brothers.
