What's the financial legacy of late Maharashtra Deputy CM
Mumbai: Maharashtra’s Deputy Chief Minister and veteran leader Ajit Pawar tragically died in a plane crash near Baramati on January 28, 2026, sending shockwaves across the state and the country. Pawar was aboard a chartered aircraft that crash-landed while attempting to touch down, killing him along with all other people on board.

According to his most recent election affidavit filed during the 2024 Maharashtra Assembly elections, Pawar’s personal assets were officially declared at approximately ₹45.37 crore. These included both movable assets (such as financial investments and vehicles) and immovable assets like land and residential properties.
However, several media reports have suggested that his broader financial footprint — when combined with certain family holdings and extended valuations — might be significantly higher, potentially exceeding ₹100 crore.
Pawar owned multiple residential and agricultural properties, along with non-agricultural land and commercial buildings in different parts of Maharashtra. His immovable properties were valued in the tens of crores. These holdings were listed in the election affidavit and formed a substantial part of his declared wealth.

Shares in various companies
Precious metals such as gold and silver
Bank deposits and cash holdings
Pawar also owned several vehicles, including models like a Toyota Camry and a Honda CR-V, among others. His collection reflected both personal and functional use in his public and private life.
His wife, Sunetra Pawar, who is also a Member of Parliament, declared her own separate assets, which included valuable residential properties worth over ₹22 crore and other real estate. Combined, the family’s wealth — spanning land, property, investments, and deposits — painted a picture of significant economic standing.
