As India continues to be the world’s fastest-growing major economy, Fortune India presents its special issue on the nation’s Top 100 Billionaires. Curated in partnership with Waterfield Advisors, this year’s list reflects a slight decline in the number of dollar billionaires—from 185 to 182—even as the entry threshold for the Top 100 rose to ₹24,283 crore, up from ₹22,739 crore last year. From stalwarts like Mukesh Ambani, Gautam Adani, and the Mistry family, who continue to lead the list, to major gainers such as Sunil Mittal and Kumar Mangalam Birla, the issue goes beyond the numbers to explore the resilience, ambition, and strategic foresight that define India’s wealth creators. Read their compelling stories in the latest issue of Fortune India. On stands now.
In addition, Xpress Value sale fares starting at ₹1524 will be available across all major booking platforms.
"With this sale, we're giving flyers a chance to plan smart and early for their summer trips. Whether it’s leisure, business, or family travel, we’re making it more accessible and personalized," the airline noted.
Air India Express has further sweetened the deal for its loyalty program members, offering 25% off on Xpress Biz fares and upgrades. Xpress Biz, the carrier’s business-class equivalent, features an industry-leading seat pitch of up to 58 inches and is available on over 40 brand-new Boeing 737 8 aircraft inducted as part of the airline’s ongoing fleet expansion. A new aircraft is reportedly being added to the fleet every week.
Loyalty members also get 25% off on Gourmair hot meals, seat selections, Xpress Ahead priority services, and baggage add-ons, but only when booked via the airline’s official app or website.
The airline continues to support concessional fares for students, senior citizens, healthcare workers, and armed forces personnel and their families, available exclusively on its digital platforms.
A Tata enterprise and subsidiary of Air India, Air India Express operates over 500 daily flights, connecting 38 domestic and 17 international airports with a fleet of 112 aircraft, comprising 72 Boeing 737s and 40 Airbus A320s.
