How Does Total Compensation For Aman Sarin Compare With Other Companies In The Industry?

According to our data, Anant Raj Limited has a market capitalization of ₹208b, and paid its CEO total annual compensation worth ₹12m over the year to March 2025. This was the same as last year. We note that the salary portion, which stands at ₹10.8m constitutes the majority of total compensation received by the CEO.

In comparison with other companies in the Indian Real Estate industry with market capitalizations ranging from ₹172b to ₹550b, the reported median CEO total compensation was ₹31m. That is to say, Aman Sarin is paid under the industry median. What's more, Aman Sarin holds ₹155m worth of shares in the company in their own name, indicating that they have a lot of skin in the game.

Speaking on an industry level, all of total compensation represents salary, while non-salary remuneration is completely ignored. There isn't a significant difference between Anant Raj and the broader market, in terms of salary allocation in the overall compensation package. If salary dominates total compensation, it suggests that CEO compensation is leaning less towards the variable component, which is usually linked with performance.
