The number of billionaires in India doubled in 2009, Forbes magazine says.

It lists 49 Indian billionaires, up from 24 the previous year. India, which has many of the world's poorest people, also has 10 of Asia's top 25 richest.

The wealthiest Indian is Mukesh Ambani, worth an estimated $29bn. His Reliance Industries is India's largest firm.

Steel tycoon Lakshmi Mittal is second with $28.7bn. Both are in Forbes' list of the 10 richest men in the world - Mr Ambani at four, Mr Mittal at five.

Mexican telecom giant Carlos Slim ($53.5bn) came top - the first time since 1994 that an American has not led the rankings - ahead of Microsoft founder Bill Gates ($53bn) and US investor Warren Buffett ($43bn).
