Age
- His birth year is estimated as 1943 / 1944 by most sources.
- For instance, “born in 1944” is a statement according to a biography source.
- Based on 2025, he would be around 81-82 years old (assuming he was born in 1943/44).
- Some sources give his age as 78 or 79 years in recent times (but those may be a little old).
Net Worth (2025)
This varies more, since estimates of net worth rely on valuations of stocks, private holdings, assets, and liabilities. But here are the reported estimates:
| Source / Estimate | Approximate Net Worth |
|---|---|
| Forbes (Real-time) | USD 4.8 billion |
| FranchiseBhoomi (2024 / 2025 estimate) | USD 4.45 billion |
| Previous media / DNA / other sources | E.g. ~USD 3.4 billion (≈ ₹27,810 crore) in certain reports |
| Forbes – India Richest list (2024) | Positions him among India’s rich with ~$4.45 B in the auto industry |
Based on these, a rough estimate of 2025 is in the order of USD 4–5 billion, subject to valuation of Force Motors, his holding, and associated holdings.
In Indian rupees (subject to exchange rate), this could mean tens of thousands of crores (₹20,000-₹40,000+ crore order) in various reports.
Monthly Income (Estimated / Speculative)
- Public sources do not consistently reveal his personal monthly income (salary, dividends, etc.).
- For someone with a multibillion net worth, most of the “income” would be from dividends, capital gains, and investment returns, instead of a regular salary.
- If one assumes a modest dividend yield or returns from his holdings, that could translate to a few crores (tens of millions) of rupees per month — but that is speculative and depends heavily on how much of his wealth is liquid, dividend-paying, or profit-sharing.
- Unless a corporate disclosure lists his salary from Force Motors or other holdings, the monthly income remains an estimate at best.
Summary & Caveats
- Age: ~81–82 years (born ~1943/44)
- Net Worth: Estimated between USD 4–5 billion (or equivalent in Indian rupees) according to different sources
- Monthly Income: Not publicly disclosed — probably high from dividends / equity returns but no confirmed figure
