How Does Yoshifumi Iida's Compensation Compare With Similar Sized Companies?

According to our data, Honda Siel Power Products Limited has a market capitalization of ₹9.8b, and pays its CEO total annual compensation worth ₹20m. (This is based on the year to March 2018). We think total compensation is more important but we note that the CEO salary is lower, at ₹8.6m. We took a group of companies with market capitalizations below ₹14b, and calculated the median CEO total compensation to be ₹1.3m.

However, this does not necessarily mean Honda Siel Power Products Limited is paying too much. A closer look at the performance of the underlying business will give us a better idea about whether the pay is particularly generous.
