we must get comps.xml file from the original repository and copy it to the repository rpms directory. Then run the createrepo command with -g (group) option.

eg:cd /repodir (wherever repodata directory is present)
createrepo -g rpms/comps.xml .

then run the command yum clean all and check the yum grouplist.
It will work!!
