Average pay hike projected at 9.1% in 2026: AON survey
Business Standard
|February 25, 2026
Employees across sectors are expected to get a salary hike of 9.1 per cent on average in 2026, slightly higher than the increment of 8.9 per cent received last year, a survey said on Tuesday.
The projected 9.1 per cent salary increase reflects a slight uptick from the actual 8.9 per cent hike recorded in 2025, which signals sustained salary movement, said global professional services firm AON, citing its 'Annual Salary Increase and Turnover Survey 2025-26 India'. The latest survey, the 32nd edition, is based on an analysis of data from more than 1,400 organisations across 45 industries in the country.
The projected salary hikes will vary depending on industries, it said.
The workforce in the real estate and infrastructure sectors is expected to get the maximum pay hike of 10.2 per cent on average, followed by those working in non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) at 10.1 per cent, it said.
