India's top 100 brands reach record valuation

Brand Finance said its rankings are based on a global methodology that evaluates consumer perception, brand impact and forecast revenues to estimate long-term brand value.

According to the report, the combined value of India's top 100 brands reached a record USD 252.8 billion in 2026, supported by continued investment in digital transformation, manufacturing, infrastructure and innovation.

Within this broader landscape, the Adani Group emerged as one of the year's strongest-performing companies, driven by sustained expansion across infrastructure, energy and logistics.
