The party started even before the exit poll results were announced on Monday. Blue-chip shares, including that of Reliance Industries, have surged nearly 10% in the last four sessions. In fact, Mukesh Ambani’s wealth has increased by $1.68 billion, rising almost $800 million on Tuesday ? his net wealth now stands at roughly $25.5 billion.
