Savitri Jindal Net Worth

Savitri Jindal has an estimated net worth of $38.3 billion, according to Forbes Real-Time Billionaires, Savitri Jindal profile (figures as of October 20, 2026). That is up from $5.9 billion in 2019.

Savitri Jindal is an Indian businesswoman who serves as chairperson emeritus of the O.P. Jindal Group. The group has businesses in steel, power, cement and infrastructure. She took over after founder Om Prakash Jindal died in 2005. Her wealth is tied mainly to the group’s steel interests. Forbes places her in metals and mining, while the family’s major industrial assets include companies connected to JSW Steel, JSW Cement and JSW Paints.

The business story began before her leadership. O.P. Jindal started by making buckets in 1952 and later founded a pipe unit called Jindal India in 1964. After his death in 2005, the group’s companies were divided among his sons, who now run them independently. Sajjan Jindal oversees some of the biggest assets from Mumbai, including JSW Steel, JSW Cement and JSW Paints. Naveen Jindal manages Jindal Steel & Power from Delhi.

How Savitri Jindal makes money

Her fortune comes from the O.P. Jindal Group, a family business with interests in steel, power, cement and infrastructure. Forbes says the source of wealth is steel, which fits the group’s industrial base. She chairs the group founded by Om Prakash Jindal, while the operating companies are handled independently within the family. That matters because the family’s wealth is tied to several large businesses rather than a single company.

Some of the biggest assets are linked to Sajjan Jindal’s side of the business. He oversees JSW Steel, JSW Cement and JSW Paints, among other operations. In 2024, he set up an EV joint venture with MG Motor, and it has since sold 100,000 EVs. In 2025, JSW Cement went public. The family’s cement arm was listed in August 2025 at a small premium to its issue price.

Forbes net worth timeline

Forbes has shown a sharp rise in Savitri Jindal’s estimated wealth over time. It was $5.9 billion in 2019, then $17.7 billion in 2022, and reached $39.1 billion on the Forbes World’s Billionaires List in 2026. That jump tracks with the scale of the family’s holdings across steel, power, cement and infrastructure, plus the value tied to major companies connected to the wider Jindal business network.

The current Forbes real-time estimate is $38.3 billion as of October 20, 2026. Recent business activity helps explain why her fortune stayed near that level after the 2026 annual list. The family already had large positions in core industrial sectors, and newer developments added to that picture. Those included the 2024 EV venture with MG Motor and the August 2025 listing of JSW Cement, one of the group’s key cement businesses.
