Comparing Marathon Nextgen Realty Limited's CEO Compensation With The Industry

According to our data, Marathon Nextgen Realty Limited has a market capitalization of ₹43b, and paid its CEO total annual compensation worth ₹27m over the year to March 2025. Notably, that's an increase of 12% over the year before. While we always look at total compensation first, our analysis shows that the salary component is less, at ₹9.0m.

On examining similar-sized companies in the Indian Real Estate industry with market capitalizations between ₹18b and ₹70b, we discovered that the median CEO total compensation of that group was ₹15m.

Speaking on an industry level, all of total compensation represents salary, while non-salary remuneration is completely ignored. Marathon Nextgen Realty pays a modest slice of remuneration through salary, as compared to the broader industry. It's important to note that a slant towards non-salary compensation suggests that total pay is tied to the company's performance.
