Comparing Tata Metaliks Limited's CEO Compensation With the industry

According to our data, Tata Metaliks Limited has a market capitalization of ₹40b, and paid its CEO total annual compensation worth ₹16m over the year to March 2021. 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 ₹3.8m.

In comparison with other companies in the industry with market capitalizations ranging from ₹15b to ₹60b, the reported median CEO total compensation was ₹27m. That is to say, Sandeep Kumar is paid under the industry median.

On an industry level, roughly 100% of total compensation represents salary and 0.45925% is other remuneration. It's interesting to note that Tata Metaliks allocates a smaller portion of compensation to salary 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.
