Find Out How Much Do CEOs In Top Indian Companies Earn

NEW DELHI: The average CEO pay at India's top listed companies has risen to Rs 10 crore a year. However, it still remains less than one-tenth of Rs 100 crore median remuneration paid to their peers in the U.S. The top executives of the country's biggest blue-chip companies, forming part of the benchmark index Sensex, were paid an average remuneration of Rs 9.9 crore in the latest fiscal 2013-14- up from about Rs 8.5 crore in the previous year.

In comparison, the average CEO pay for the companies forming part of the U.S. stock market's index DJIA (Dow Jones Industrial Average) stood at $17.5 million (Rs 105 crore) during the last year.

The corresponding figures for the UK and Germany stood at about Rs 60 crore and Rs 50 crore, respectively, in 2013 -- which are also significantly higher than the Indian average.

The average figure of Rs 10.06 crore for the fiscal year 2013-14 has been derived through an analysis of the latest pay disclosures so far made by the private sector Sensex companies in their latest annual reports. However, the figures does not include the value of stocks owned by these CEOs, as also the other accrued benefits such as dividend payouts that may arise from share ownerships.
