In 2024, Sajjan Jindal set up an EV joint venture with MG Motor, which has since sold 100,000 EVs. In 2025, he took JSW Cement public.

Perspective on their fortune
Gold
Everyday luxury
A Savitri Jindal & family's fortune is equivalent to 266 of gold, but this may be difficult to value, as we don't usually have a handful of gold bars in our piggy bank.
A standard gold ring typically weighs between 4 and 7 grams. Let's say this one weighs 5 grams. It's usually 18k gold.
Based on today's gold price (not taking into account the jeweler's fee, shipping, or anything else), that gold ring would be worth $556.3
Savitri Jindal & family could buy 70,938,631 gold rings. That's a lot of fingers and a lot of gifts!!
And if the number of rings is difficult to visualize, all these rings would need 13 trucks to transport them, But we can be almost certain that Savitri Jindal & family will have enough left over to pay for the gas for those trucks.
