Gautam Adani's ₹10.41 crore remuneration in 2024-25 is lower than industry peers, including his own key executives.
India's second richest person Gautam Adani received a total remuneration of ₹10.41 crore in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, lower than most industry peers and his own key executives.
Mr. Adani, 62, drew salaries from two out of the nine listed companies in his ports-to-energy conglomerate, the latest annual reports of the listed entities of the group showed. His total remuneration was 12% more than the ₹9.26 crore he had earned in the previous 2023-24 financial year.
His remuneration for 2024-25 from the group's flagship firm Adani Enterprises Ltd (AEL) included ₹2.26 crore salary and another ₹28 lakh in perquisites, allowances and other benefits. The total earnings from AEL at ₹2.54 crore was higher than ₹2.46 crore in the previous fiscal.
Besides, he drew ₹7.87 crore from Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone (APSEZ) —₹1.8 crore salary and ₹6.07 crore commission.
This compared with ₹6.8 crore he received from APSEZ in 2023-24.
Mr. Adani's salary is lower than the heads of almost all large family-owned conglomerates in India.
While the richest Indian, Mukesh Ambani, has been foregoing his entire salary since COVID-19 broke out, prior to which he had capped his remuneration at ₹15 crore, Mr. Adani's remuneration is much lower than telecom czar Sunil Bharti Mittal (₹32.27 crore in 2023-24), Rajiv Bajaj (₹53.75 crore in FY24), Pawan Munjal (₹109 crore in FY24), L&T Chairman S N Subrahmanyan (₹76.25 crore in FY25) and Infosys CEO Salil S Parekh (₹80.62 crore in FY25).
