Salary increase for 2010 in India is the highest in Asia Pacific
Bangalore: Salary increase for 2010 in India is projected to be 10.6 percent, the highest in Asia Pacific and up 60 percent from the actual increase of 6.6 percent in 2009. Indian owned companies are expected to outperform MNCs with a projected average increase of 11.4 percent as against a 10.2 percent by the latter.

Energy, Telecommunications, Pharmaceutical, EPC (Engineering, Procurement and Construction) and Automotive are among the sectors projecting highest increases ranging from 11.6 percent to 12.8 percent. Technology and Outsourcing sectors have shown tremendous recovery over 2009, but are playing cautiously with single digit increases in the range of 8.5 percent to 8.9 percent. These findings were revealed in the 14th annual Salary Increase Survey covering 465 companies across 20 primary industries, conducted by global human resource services firm, Hewitt Associates.

Sandeep Chaudhary, Leader of Hewitt's Performance and Rewards Consulting practice in India, commented, "Organizations in India are positive and are looking at measured, realistic growth, with a keen eye on cost consolidation and prudence. The economy has shown faster recovery in sectors that rely on domestic growth and consumption, while recovery in sectors that have global dependence is expected to gain speed by mid 2010. This growth and the fact that 2009 saw a lot of salary freeze and salary cuts, are providing an impetus for healthy increase in compensation for employees."

In keeping with the focus on cost and performance, variable pay as part of total compensation continues to grow with 24.8 percent of Top Executive pay coming through this route and even the lowest rung Officer Cadre getting 11.3 percent of their salary in variable compensation. As per Hewitt's report, salaries will increase across all employee levels with Junior Manager/ Supervisor/ Professional level expected to receive the highest increase at 10.9 percent.

Increased privatization in the power sector, the Government's unrelenting investment and stimulus into infrastructure and increased competition in telecommunications, have earned these sectors the highest salary increases of 12.2 percent - 12.8 percent. These are closely followed by steady performers like pharmaceuticals at 12.1 percent. The automotive sector has sprung back with increased demand and sale over the last two quarters and is strongly positioned at 11.6 percent average salary increase for 2010.

Technology and outsourcing sectors have had a big positive swing from 2009, but still stand among the lowest salary increases at 8.9 percent and 8.5 percent, followed by Shipping and Logistics at 7.6 percent which has continued with the same careful watch from 2009. Also, banking and financial Services have seen a positive recovery with salary increase projection for 2010 at 10.5 percent. This is also the sector that was most adversely impacted by global recession and had minimal bonus coupled with salary freezes.

The Indian retail sector, which was hit by weak consumer sentiment, tight credit situation and unhealthy cost structures, has bounced back, investing in compensation with 11.1 percent projected salary increase for 2010.

7: Talking about percentages is always a sales pitch. Salary increase from Rs 1000/- to Rs 1100/- is a 10% increase. People with low packages will have low raise when talking about pecentage but for higher income grade, take home per month will amount to some decent money thay can cherish.

Hi Rakesh,
I support JDas. though market is good but some compaies are not giving good hikes to their employees, company want their employees work with low salaries(with just a small hike) in my view 10% is very less hike...

I total argreement with Rakesh & JDas on this. Take for example Reliance retail, employees there didn't received any hike whatsoever not even 1%. This year too they are only expecting a very moderate increase in salary hike say 4-5 %.

"Big Ambani (Mukesh), should think from employees point of view, if he can buying a boieng to his wife and can build a multi billion house for his very very big family of 4 people, I think he should also pay some appraisals to his employees".

What do you say?
