Highlights of Business Today 14th September, 2025 issue:

Business Today Magazine's annual BT500 Special Issue redefines the contours of corporate performance and in this year' rankings, it is moving beyond size to position profitability as the definitive marker of resilience and long-term value. Amid policy realignments, geopolitical volatility, and heightened investor scrutiny, this profitability-centric framework offers a more credible benchmark of enterprise strength.

A key inflection point is the resurgence of PSUs, long discounted as inefficient, now repositioned through capital efficiency, governance reforms, and portfolio diversification. Five PSUs in the top ten testify to this structural transformation. Their upward trajectory complements the dominance of private sector champions, generating a dual narrative of India’s growth arc. Across energy, finance, technology, and infrastructure, the unifying themes are operational discipline, technological adaptation, and scale-driven strategies.

Collectively, BT500 2025 captures this new reality, where profitability, strategy, and governance coherence dictate corporate longevity.

All this and more in this special issue of BT Magazine. Out on stands now.
