The corporate world is buzzing with one of the biggest deals of the decade—worth a staggering ₹37,000 crore. Reports suggest that Subrata Roy’s Sahara Group, once one of India’s most powerful business empires, is now on the verge of selling a huge chunk of its assets to Gautam Adani’s Adani Group. But why is Sahara selling almost everything? And why is Adani interested in buying it all?
 
In this episode of Facts & Figures (F&F 164), Hemant Yadav unpacks the high-stakes drama behind this mega-deal. Sahara Group, which once had stakes in airlines, media, real estate, and even sports, has been struggling for years under the weight of legal battles, regulatory crackdowns, and financial troubles. The group owes thousands of crores to investors, and the Supreme Court has been keeping a close watch on its repayment process.
 
Meanwhile, Gautam Adani—India’s most controversial yet ambitious business tycoon—has been on a buying spree. From airports to cement to media houses, Adani is rapidly expanding his empire across sectors. By acquiring Sahara’s assets, Adani could gain access to prime real estate and a wide range of businesses, further cementing his dominance in India’s corporate landscape.
