HUL MD Rohit Jawa's salary rises to 23.23 crore in FY25; permanent workforce down 8.4%
Hindustan Unilever Ltd (HUL) Managing Director Rohit Jawa's total remuneration rose by 3.75 per cent in FY25 to 23.23 crore, according to the company's latest annual report.
Jawa's annual pay package included a salary of 3.65 crore, allowances of 11.45 crore, a bonus of 3.78 crore, and long-term incentive perquisites amounting to 2.76 crore, PTI reported.
The report stated that Jawa's remuneration was 146.47 times more than the median remuneration of employees. In FY24, the ratio was higher at 153.03 times.
Meanwhile, the number of permanent employees at the FMCG major fell by 8.46 per cent. HUL had 6,604 permanent employees on its rolls as of March 31, 2025, compared to 7,215 the previous year.
The median remuneration of employees increased by 8.39 per cent in FY25.
'Average increase made in the salaries of employees other than the managerial personnel in the financial year was 4.62 per cent and does not include increase on account of promotions.
Increase every year is an outcome of the company's market competitiveness as against its peer group companies as well as financial performance,' the annual report noted.
Addressing shareholders, Jawa said FY25 saw a moderation in urban demand and a gradual recovery in rural consumption.
'Against this backdrop, we remained focussed on driving volume growth and strengthening competitiveness for the business,' he said.

HUL Chairman Nitin Paranjpe said the company navigated a challenging operating environment, marked by uneven weather patterns, volatile commodity prices, and muted consumer demand.
He added that India is 'well-poised to deliver strong and consistent growth with rising affluence, a burgeoning middle class, a vibrant young working population empowered by a strong public digital backbone and growth-oriented policies.'
'Economic development, technological advancements and a better quality of life have fuelled the aspirations of our consumers. These new dynamics present a significant opportunity for the FMCG sector,' he said.
Paranjpe said HUL is witnessing a rapid evolution of the Indian consumer due to greater digital access and information.
'We are building a robust portfolio for future growth, by sharpening our 'where to play' choices.
In line with this, we announced the acquisition of premium science-backed beauty brand, Minimalist. This acquisition is in line with our vision to become the beauty shapers of India,' he said.
In FY25, HUL also divested its water business, Pureit, and announced the decision to demerge its ice cream division, which includes brands such as Kwality Wall's, Cornetto and Magnum.
The company, which owns brands like Lux, Rin, Surf Excel, Pond's, Dove, Horlicks, Bru, and Lipton, reported a turnover of 60,680 crore and a profit after tax of 10,644 crore in FY25.

Patil Automation set for NSE SME debut today. GMP hints at modest premium
Pune-based Patil Automation is set to list on the NSE SME platform today after seeing overwhelming investor demand during its Rs 69.61 crore IPO . The issue was subscribed an impressive 101.42 times overall, driven by robust interest from non-institutional investors (NII) who bid 258 times their quota. Retail investors subscribed 44.77 times, while the Qualified Institutional Buyer (QIB) category was booked 82.92 times. Ahead of the listing, the grey market premium (GMP) for Patil Automation shares is hovering around ₹31, indicating a listing price of Rs 151 per share—nearly 26% higher than the issue price of Rs 120. While GMPs are unofficial and not always accurate indicators, the premium reflects positive sentiment among investors. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Why Seniors Are Snapping Up This TV Box, We Explain! Techno Mag Learn More Undo The IPO consisted entirely of a fresh issue of 58 lakh shares. Anchor investors had pumped in Rs 19.81 crore ahead of the IPO opening, with 16.51 lakh shares allocated at the upper price band. The funds raised will be used primarily to set up a new manufacturing facility and repay a portion of the company's borrowings. Founded in 2015, Patil Automation provides automation and robotics solutions across industries including automotive, electronics, and general engineering. Its product range includes robotic welding systems, automated assembly lines, conveyor systems, and AI-based vision inspection systems. The company operates five facilities and has over 500 personnel including contractual workers. Live Events For FY25, the company posted a net profit of Rs 11.70 crore on a revenue of Rs 122 crore, with PAT margins at 9.91% and ROE at 27.28%. The IPO valued the firm at a post-issue P/E of around 22.4x. Given the strong subscription figures and current GMP, the listing is likely to be positive, though post-listing performance may depend on broader market trends and investor appetite for SME stocks.

Dollar firms as markets brace for Iran response to US attacks
The U.S. dollar firmed slightly on Monday as anxious investors sought safety, although the moves were muted so far suggesting markets were waiting for Iran's response to U.S. attacks on its nuclear sites that have exacerbated tension in the Middle East. The major moves were in the oil market, with oil prices hitting a five-month high, while global stocks slipped in the first market reaction to the U.S. attacks over the weekend. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like An engineer reveals: 1 simple trick to get all TV channels Techno Mag Learn More Undo In currency markets, the dollar advanced broadly against most rivals. It was up 0.25% against the Japanese yen at 146.415 after touching a one-month high earlier in the session. The euro was 0.33% lower at $1.1484, while the Australian dollar, often seen as risk proxy, weakened 0.2% to $0.6437, hovering near its lowest level in over three weeks. That left the dollar index, which measures the U.S. currency against six other units, 0.12% higher at 99.037. Sterling was 0.25% lower at $1.34175, while the New Zealand dollar also fell 0.24% to $0.5952. Live Events Carol Kong, currency strategist at Commonwealth Bank of Australia , said the markets are in wait-and-see mode on how Iran responds, with more worries about the positive inflationary impact of the conflict than the negative economic impact. "The currency markets will be at the mercy of comments and actions from the Iranian, Israeli and U.S. governments. The risks are clearly skewed to further upside in the safe haven currencies if the parties escalate the conflict." Iran vowed to defend itself a day after the U.S. dropped 30,000-pound bunker-buster bombs onto the mountain above Iran's Fordow nuclear site. American leaders urged Tehran to stand down while pockets of anti-war protests emerged in U.S. cities. In a step towards what is widely seen as Iran's most effective threat to hurt the West, its parliament approved a move to close the Strait of Hormuz. Nearly a quarter of global oil shipments pass through the narrow waters that Iran shares with Oman and the United Arab Emirates. "Markets appear to be treating the U.S. strikes on Iran as a contained event for now, rather than the start of a broader war," said Charu Chanana, chief investment strategist at Saxo. "The muted haven flows suggest investors are still assuming this is a one-off escalation, not a disruption to global oil supply or trade." While the dollar has reprised its role as a safe haven due to the rapid escalation in geopolitical tension, the relatively muted moves suggested investors remain wary of going all in on the greenback. The U.S. currency has dropped 8.6% this year against its major rivals as economic uncertainty from President Donald Trump's tariffs and concern over their impact on U.S. growth has led to investors scurrying for alternatives. In cryptocurrencies, bitcoin was up 1.3% in early trading after dropping about 4% on Sunday, while ether rose 2.3% on Monday after sliding 9% in the previous session.
