Comparing Sunteck Realty Limited's CEO Compensation With The Industry

Our data indicates that Sunteck Realty Limited has a market capitalization of ₹64b, and total annual CEO compensation was reported as ₹40m for the year to March 2025. That's a notable increase of 45% on last year. Notably, the salary of ₹40m is the entirety of the CEO compensation.

On comparing similar companies from the Indian Real Estate industry with market caps ranging from ₹35b to ₹142b, we found that the median CEO total compensation was ₹29m. This suggests that Kamal Khetan is paid more than the median for the industry. Moreover, Kamal Khetan also holds ₹36b worth of Sunteck Realty stock directly under their own name, which reveals to us that they have a significant personal stake in the company.

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. At the company level, Sunteck Realty pays Kamal Khetan solely through a salary, preferring to go down a conventional route. If total compensation veers towards salary, it suggests that the variable portion - which is generally tied to performance, is lower.

Has Sunteck Realty Limited Been A Good Investment?

Sunteck Realty Limited has not done too badly by shareholders, with a total return of 7.4%, over three years. It would be nice to see that metric improve in the future.
