Ms Rinehart flew Julie Bishop, Barnaby Joyce and Teresa Gambaro from Perth to Hyderabad in a private jet to watch the granddaughter of her business partner marry in front of 10,000 guests, Fairfax media reported on Sunday.
Ms Rinehart was about to clinch a $1 billion coal deal with the bride's grandfather - G.V. Krishna Reddy, the founder of GVK, one of India's largest energy and infrastructure companies.
In the name of fostering stronger ties with India, Mrs Rinehart invited Australian politicians to be her guests at the wedding.

Gina Rinehart meets Coalition MPs in secret trip to Canberra
CAMPBELL Newman's hand-picked top public servant is part-owner of a Queensland coal-seam gas services business with Sydney-based Australian Water Holdings, the infrastructure company linked to Labor powerbroker Eddie Obeid.
Former state Treasury official and businessman Jon Grayson retained his 25 per cent stake of Gasfields Water Management Pty Ltd along with holdings in several other mining-related ventures after being appointed director-general of Queensland's Department of Premier and Cabinet in March last year.
Gasfields Water Management -- which is 75 per cent owned by Australian Water -- has been touting for business in Queensland's coal-seam gas industry for the past two years and is understood to have a secured a contract with several major gas companies in the middle of last year.
The Independent Commission Against Corruption in NSW has heard that the Obeid family was linked to Australian Water, which has been chaired by Liberal senator Arthur Sinodinos and former state Labor treasurer Michael Costa. Senator Sinodinos, now parliamentary secretary to federal Opposition Leader Tony Abbott, confirmed yesterday that he had abandoned a claim to a 5 per cent shareholding in Australian Water because of its links to the Obeid family.
Company records show that Mr Grayson was a founding director of Gasfield Water Management, along with Australian Water's largest shareholder and former managing director, Nick Di Girolamo.
Senator Sinodinos's decision followed revelations that, unknown to him at the time, Mr Di Girolamo had accepted $3 million from the Obeids.
Mr Grayson owns his stake in Gasfields Water Management through a wholly-owned company, Queensland Office Nominees (No 1).
He resigned as a director, along with his other board positions, after being appointed Mr Newman's director-general soon after the election last March.
Mr Grayson also owns a third stake in Brisbane-based QIP Coal Pty Ltd, which owns a 15 per cent shareholding in Auscoal.
In a statement from Mr Newman's office, a spokesman said Mr Grayson had declared his shareholdings on a pecuniary interest register after accepting the job with Mr Newman and had no involvement in the operation of any of the companies.
