The Ledger / Sudhir Mehta
Sudhir Mehta
◼ Origin
Brother of Samir Mehta and son of Torrent Group founder UN Mehta; Sudhir chairs Torrent Power Ltd and has served in various leadership roles in the Torrent Group's energy and real estate divisions. Together, the Mehta brothers manage one of India's largest family business conglomerates spanning pharmaceuticals, power, real estate, and cable TV (Torrent Cables). The group's combined revenue exceeds ₹30,000 crore (~$3.5B).
◼ Self-Made Verdict — INHERITED
Inherited Torrent Group from his father UN Mehta; did not originate the pharmaceutical and power business conglomerate. His wealth is the product of family inheritance.
◼ Documented marks
01
Chairs Torrent Power Ltd (NSE: TORNTPOWER), which operates electricity generation (2,800+ MW installed capacity), transmission, and distribution businesses across Ahmedabad, Surat, and other Gujarat territories; Torrent Power's distribution business serves 3M+ consumers in its franchised territories with government-set tariffs.
02
Torrent Pharmaceuticals — the sibling company Samir Mehta chairs — received a US FDA Warning Letter in March 2019 for its Dahej, Gujarat facility for data integrity violations (falsification of laboratory records); the facility was placed on FDA Import Alert 66-40, suspending exports to the US market from that plant. The Mehta brothers jointly oversee the Torrent Group conglomerate in which both pharma and power are flagship entities.
03
Torrent Group's combined pharmaceutical and power empire makes the Mehta brothers two of the most influential business figures in Gujarat; their Ahmedabad-based conglomerate is tightly held through private family structures with limited public disclosure beyond what listed entity reporting requires.
