Editor’s note: We’re resending today’s Evening Brief due to a human error on our part that resulted in an older edition being sent out. The error is regretted. India’s biggest conglomerates are growing faster than ever, and increasingly on the public markets. The country’s top 10 business groups by market capitalization have added 20 listed companies since 2021, taking their tally to 105, a Mint analysis shows. That’s as many as they added in the entire decade before. Adani led the surge with eight additions, driven by cement acquisitions, while Reliance added three. The Tata, Birla, Bajaj, Mahindra, and JSW groups chipped in as well. Several more listings are on the way, including from Reliance’s Jio Platforms, Tata Capital, and JSW’s electric car venture. This public-market march contrasts the West, where conglomerates are splitting up. Experts say GST, digital infrastructure, and easy internal capital have turbocharged India’s corporate giants, while smaller firms struggle to scale. For better or worse, India’s economy is being reshaped by the growing heft of a few powerful business houses. Market Watch📊 Markets pause after steady gains! Indian stocks ended nearly flat as buying momentum slowed and market breadth stayed weak. Sensex edged up 🔼 124 points (+0.15%) to 81,548.73 Advances and declines were nearly equal, signalling cautious sentiment. ⚖️📉 Get a headstart on tomorrow’s print edition:Tata aims to roll out India-made chips by mid-2027, but rare-earths crisis could derail plan India ramps up gold reserves faster than peers New highway concession pact to woo private investors likely by month-end Gautam Thakar steps down as CEO of Prosus’ global edtech practice Premium readsMint Explainer: Why are PE investors biting into India's snacks market?
