The 25 largest Indian public companies by revenue, ranked on Forbes Global 2000 2026 data, led by Reliance Industries, LIC and Indian Oil.

The largest companies in India by revenue are led by oil refiners and producers, state-controlled banks and insurers, and a small number of private conglomerates, metals producers and IT services firms. This list ranks the 25 Indian public companies with the highest revenue in the Forbes Global 2000 2026, published on 24 June 2026.

Reliance Industries leads with revenue of US$119.7bn, followed by Life Insurance Corporation of India (US$108.0bn) and Indian Oil (US$88.5bn). Forbes counts 64 Indian companies in its 2026 Global 2000, while Fortune's revenue-only Global 500 2026 includes 10.

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.
