According to the study, companies in India are budgeting a 10% overall median increase for 2023. This is a 9.8% average salary increase, as compared to the 9.5% increase in 2022.

Additionally, after two years of the pandemic, corporations with a positive outlook are revising their budgets. According to the study, more than half (58%) of Indian employers have budgeted for higher salary increases this year compared to last year. A quarter of them (24.4%) made no changes to their budgets, while only 5.4% reduced their budgets in comparison to 2022.

According to the report, approximately 42 percent of Indian companies have projected a positive business revenue outlook for the next 12 months. Only 7.2 percent predict a negative future.

Rajul Mathur, Consulting Leader India, Work and Rewards, WTW said in a statement: “2022 saw actual salary increments being higher than budgets and this was largely due to better-than-expected business performance and the need to retain talent.”

He also stated that despite the economic headwinds, higher projections for 2023 reflect cautious business optimism and the labour market’s continued tightness.

As per the report, the increments on India Inc are expected to be highest in the APAC region. Additionally, it has been projected that China will reportedly see an increase of 6%, Hong Kong at 4.0% and Singapore will see an increase of 4% next year.
