How Does Total Compensation For Amish Mehta Compare With Other Companies In The Industry?

Our data indicates that CRISIL Limited has a market capitalization of ₹348b, and total annual CEO compensation was reported as ₹125m for the year to December 2024. Notably, that's an increase of 24% over the year before. While we always look at total compensation first, our analysis shows that the salary component is less, at ₹41m.

In comparison with other companies in the Indian Capital Markets industry with market capitalizations ranging from ₹171b to ₹547b, the reported median CEO total compensation was ₹74m. Hence, we can conclude that Amish Mehta is remunerated higher than the industry median.

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. CRISIL sets aside a smaller share of compensation for salary, in comparison to the overall industry. If total compensation is slanted towards non-salary benefits, it indicates that CEO pay is linked to company performance.
