Comparing Surya Roshni Limited's CEO Compensation With The Industry

Our data indicates that Surya Roshni Limited has a market capitalization of ₹64b, and total annual CEO compensation was reported as ₹101m for the year to March 2025. That's mostly flat as compared to the prior year's compensation. We think total compensation is more important but our data shows that the CEO salary is lower, at ₹31m.

On examining similar-sized companies in the Indian Metals and Mining industry with market capitalizations between ₹35b and ₹142b, we discovered that the median CEO total compensation of that group was ₹28m. Hence, we can conclude that Vinay Surya is remunerated higher than the industry median. Furthermore, Vinay Surya directly owns ₹1.5b worth of shares in the company, implying that they are deeply invested in the company's success.

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. Surya Roshni pays a modest slice of remuneration through salary, as compared to the broader industry. If non-salary compensation dominates total pay, it's an indicator that the executive's salary is tied to company performance.

Has Surya Roshni Limited Been A Good Investment?

Boasting a total shareholder return of 143% over three years, Surya Roshni Limited has done well by shareholders. This strong performance might mean some shareholders don't mind if the CEO were to be paid more than is normal for a company of its size.

In Summary...

Seeing that the company has put up a decent performance, only a few shareholders, if any at all, might have questions about the CEO pay in the upcoming AGM.
