Comparing L&T Technology Services Limited's CEO Compensation With The Industry
Our data indicates that L&T Technology Services Limited has a market capitalization of ₹460b, and total annual CEO compensation was reported as ₹181m for the year to March 2025. That's a notable increase of 17% on last year. We think total compensation is more important but our data shows that the CEO salary is lower, at ₹55m.
On comparing similar companies from the Indian Professional Services industry with market caps ranging from ₹343b to ₹1.0t, we found that the median CEO total compensation was ₹800m. That is to say, Amit Pal Chadha is paid under the industry median. Moreover, Amit Pal Chadha also holds ₹666m worth of L&T Technology Services stock directly under their own name, which reveals to us that they have a significant personal stake in the company.
| Component | 2025 | 2024 | Proportion (2025) |
| Salary | ₹55m | ₹47m | 30% |
| Other | ₹127m | ₹107m | 70% |
| Total Compensation | ₹181m | ₹154m | 100% |
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. L&T Technology Services 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.
