Infosys Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Salil Parekh received total remuneration of Rs 82.6 crore in FY26, slightly higher than the Rs 80.6 crore he earned in the previous fiscal year, according to the company’s latest annual report. The increase in compensation was largely attributed to gains from exercised restricted stock units (RSUs), which remained the biggest component of his pay package. During FY26, Parekh earned Rs 50.75 crore from perquisites related to exercised stock options, up from Rs 49.5 crore in FY25. His compensation also included a fixed salary of Rs 8.5 crore and variable pay and incentives totaling Rs 23.35 crore. The annual report revealed that Parekh exercised 2,72,400 RSUs under the company’s 2015 stock incentive plan and 64,690 RSUs under the 2019 plan during the year. These RSUs included performance-linked awards tied to financial goals, environmental, social and governance (ESG) objectives, and total shareholder return benchmarks. In addition, Infosys granted him annual time-based RSUs as well as performance-based RSUs under its 2019 compensation framework.
