Why It Matters: The significant rise in Tata Sons’ net profit and the substantial increase in Chairman N Chandrasekaran’s salary reflect the robust performance of the Tata Group in recent years.

Chandrasekaran’s salary has seen a remarkable increase from ₹37.63 lakh in 2004 when he was the executive vice president of Tata Consultancy Services, to ₹135.32 crore in FY24.

In comparison, Ratan Tata, who was the chairman of TCS in 2004, received a total salary of around ₹48 lakh back then.

Earlier in February, Tata Sons announced plans to inject around $1 billion (₹8,300 crore) into Tata Digital over the next few years, reflecting the group’s strategic focus on digital transformation.

This move comes as Tata Group halts external fundraising for its e-commerce venture, Tata Neu.
