L&T chairman remuneration jumps 50 pc to Rs 76.25 cr in FY25
According to the company's annual report, the rise was mainly on account of stock options exercised during the year. Subrahmanyan was paid a remuneration of Rs 51.05 crore in 2023-24.
The value of employee stock options (ESOP) exercised by the chairman during the last financial year stood at Rs 15.88 crore. In comparison, it was zero in 2023-24.
The report further said that while the remuneration of the company's Whole-time Director and CFO R Shankar Raman stood at Rs 37.33 crore in FY25, Subramanian Sarma, the Deputy Managing Director & President of the infrastructure major, earned Rs 44.55 crore.
The Larsen & Toubro chairman, a few months back, sparked an online outrage with his comments advocating a 90-hour work week and suggesting that employees should even give up Sundays.
In response, the company had issued a statement clarifying that his comments were intended to highlight the importance of 'extraordinary effort" for achieving remarkable results, and not to pressure employees into extended working hours. PTI SID MR MR MR

Home buyers fraud: ED secures custody of 2 Ramprastha Group directors
Gurugram, Jul 23 (PTI) The Directorate of Enforcement (ED) on Wednesday secured two-day custody of Sandeep Yadav and Arvind Walia, promoters of Haryana-based realty company Ramprastha Group, in connection with a money laundering probe linked to an alleged Rs 1,100 crore fraud with homebuyers. The two were arrested on Monday after the Gurugram zonal office of the federal probe agency raided three premises in Delhi and Gurugram, including those of the directors, early morning on that day. Yadav and Walia are directors and majority shareholders in Ramprastha Promoters and Developers Pvt Ltd (RPDPL). They were taken into custody under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). The federal probe agency produced the two in the court of an additional session judge, following which the ED secured their custody. The agency conducted a survey against the group in September 2024. It is alleged that the RPDPL collected about Rs 1,100 crore from more than 2,000 homebuyers for various housing schemes like Project Edge, Project Skyz, Project Rise and Ramprastha City (plotted colony project) in various sectors of Gurugram during 2008-11. The possession of the flats or plots is yet to be given, even after 15-20 years, the sources said. Earlier this month, the agency attached colonies and plots spread across more than 1,900 acres and worth over Rs 681.54 crore of the group in Gurugram as part of this investigation. The money laundering case stems from multiple FIRs filed by the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of the Delhi and Haryana Police based on complaints of numerous homebuyers against RPDPL and its promoters, like Yadav, Walia and Balwant Chaudhary for their 'failure" to deliver promised flats and plots within the promised timeframes, the ED had said in a statement. The company and its promoters 'diverted" the funds sources from buyers of these projects to its group companies as advances for the purchase of land parcels, instead of using them for completion of promised homes, it had said.

During his two-day official visit to the United Kingdom, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to engage in wide-ranging discussions with his British counterpart, Prime Minister Keir Starmer, covering the full spectrum of the India-UK bilateral relationship, as well as pressing regional and global issues, according to the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA). The India-UK partnership, once rooted in historical ties, has evolved into a robust, multi-dimensional and mutually beneficial relationship. The elevation of this partnership to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership in 2021 marked a significant turning point. Over the past year, PM Modi and PM Starmer have met twice in person, once on the sidelines of the G20 Summit in Brazil (November 2024) and again at the G7 Summit in June 2025, in addition to holding several telephonic conversations. One of the clearest indicators of the strength of bilateral relations is the presence of five Ministerial-level Institutional Mechanisms spanning strategic affairs, economy & finance, trade, energy, and science & technology. Recent high-level dialogues have included the Foreign Office Consultation, Defence Consultation Group, and the 2+2 Foreign and Defence Dialogue. On the economic front, bilateral trade reached a record USD 55 billion in 2024, representing a 10% increase over 2023. A major milestone in the relationship was the announcement of the India-UK Free Trade Agreement (FTA) on May 6, 2025, by both Prime Ministers. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
