Composition of the ranking
State-controlled companies are prominent in the Indian top 25. Fortune's company profiles record the government as owning 50% or more of LIC, Indian Oil, State Bank of India, ONGC and Bharat Petroleum. Banking is the largest single sector, with seven entries: SBI, HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, Axis Bank, Bank of Baroda, Canara Bank and Punjab National Bank.
Mumbai is the headquarters of 14 of the 25 companies; New Delhi has five and Bengaluru three, with one each in Vadodara, Pune and Kolkata.
Methodology
Entries are the 25 companies that Forbes assigns to India in the Global 2000 2026, re-ordered by the revenue (sales) figure Forbes publishes for each company rather than by Forbes's composite rank. The Global 2000 ranks the largest public companies on four measures, sales, profits, assets and market value, using the latest 12 months of financial data available as of 15 May 2026.
Only publicly traded companies are eligible, so unlisted state enterprises and private groups are excluded. Coverage also differs between compilers: Fortune's Global 500 2026 lists Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles, the renamed former Tata Motors after the October 2025 demerger of its commercial-vehicle business, with revenue of US$40.6bn for the year to March 2026, whereas Forbes's 2026 data includes only a company named Tata Motors, with revenue of US$9.5bn. Forbes's composite rank is shown in each entry for reference.
