Adani became the richest person in Asia this year with his vast empire-building exercise that is making him one of the region’s busiest dealmakers.

Last week, the Adani family agreed to buy Swiss building materials maker Holcim Ltd’s India assets Ambuja Cements and ACC Ltd for $10.5 billion ( ₹80,000 crore) in one of the largest ever acquisitions by an Indian group. The acquisition will propel Adani Group to become the second-largest cement maker in India after Aditya Birla Group’s UltraTech Cement Ltd.
