India Inc Expected to Deliver 9.1% Salary Hikes in 2026 Indian companies are projected to roll out average salary increases of 9.1% in 2026, according to Aon's latest annual survey of over 1,400 organizations. This marks a slight uptick from the 8.9% actual increase in 2025, though notably lower than the decade-long trend. Real estate, infrastructure, and non-banking financial companies are expected to lead with stronger increments, while automotive, engineering, and retail sectors will offer slightly above-average raises. However, these muted hikes reflect significant headwinds facing India Inc, including the implementation of new labour codes that mandate higher social security contributions, impacting profitability across top firms.
