7,300 New Indian Millionaires Added in Records in 2017-18
According to a Credit Suisse report, in 2017-18, around 7,300 individuals were added to the millionaires club that increased the total number of double-millionaires to 3,43,000. Out of these, around 1,500 have over $100 million worth of wealth. The figure is expected to hit 5,26,000 by 2023 although the depreciation of the rupee against the dollar is seen as a big obstacle. 

The report said that the overall household wealth which includes financial wealth and non-financial wealth such as houses rose by just 2.6% this year. In China, it increased by 4.6%.
