How Does Total Compensation For Jayanta Basu Compare With Other Companies In The Industry?

According to our data, ITD Cementation India Limited has a market capitalization of ₹133b, and paid its CEO total annual compensation worth ₹53m over the year to March 2025. Notably, that's an increase of 25% over the year before. While we always look at total compensation first, our analysis shows that the salary component is less, at ₹12m.

For comparison, other companies in the Indian Construction industry with market capitalizations ranging between ₹88b and ₹280b had a median total CEO compensation of ₹85m. That is to say, Jayanta Basu is paid under the industry median.

Component	2025	2024	Proportion (2025)
Salary	₹12m	₹20m	22%
Other	₹42m	₹23m	78%
Total Compensation	₹53m	₹43m	100%

On an industry level, it's fascinating to see that all of total compensation represents salary and non-salary benefits do not factor into the equation at all. In ITD Cementation India's case, non-salary compensation represents a greater slice of total remuneration, in comparison to the broader industry. If total compensation is slanted towards non-salary benefits, it indicates that CEO pay is linked to company performance.
