Big update for Infosys employees on salary hike, Narayana Murthy's IT company says ‘next one we'll have to…'
Narayana Murthy (File) Infosys, India's second-largest IT services firm, is yet to take a call on its next round of salary hikes, even as it recently rolled out a wage increase and reported a strong quarterly performance. The company posted a 9% year-on-year rise in consolidated net profit to Rs 6,921 crore for the first quarter of FY26. Speaking after the results, Chief Financial Officer Jayesh Sanghrajka said Infosys had paid a 'higher' variable pay to employees during the quarter. However, he added that the timeline for the next salary hike is still under discussion. Infosys CFO On Salary Hike 'In the margin of this quarter, we had 100 basis points of impact on account of wage hike as well as the higher variable pay that we paid to our employees this quarter, so that's already done. Having done the wage hike very recently, you know, next one we'll have to decide when,' said the CFO. While talking on the history of wage hikes this year, Infosys' CFO said that the company implemented the first part of its salary hikes from January 2025, and the second was rolled out effective 1 April 2025. 'We did a wage hike already. First part of our hikes was effective January 2025; the second phase is already rolled out, effective 1 April 2025, and the impact of that is already baked in,' said Sanghrajka in the press conference after the company's April-June quarter results announcement. Infosys Headcount The total headcount rose marginally by 210 employees during the course of the quarter, bringing the workforce to 323,788 level, an increase of 2.6 per cent year-on-year. The company said it is on track to hire 20,000 freshers this fiscal year, as announced earlier. Financial services remained the largest sector, contributing about 27.9 per cent of total revenue in Q1 FY26, followed by manufacturing at 16.1 per cent and retail at 13.4 per cent.

Mukesh Ambani, Gautam Adani, Tata Group compete to finance Modi govt's mega project in..., its related to...
(File) Mukesh Ambani-led Reliance Industries, Gautam Adani's Adani Group, and the Tata Group are among some of the biggest names from the corporate world who are bidding for a central government tender to set up Bharat Small Reactors (BSRs), which aims to decarbonize high-emission industries such as steel and aluminum using nuclear power. The project is expected to attract Rs 35,000 crore in investments from the private sector, with the tender attracting bids from major players including Reliance Industries, Adani Group, Tata Group, Hindalco, the mining arm of Aditya Birla Group, Vedanta and JSW Group, Moneycontrol reported, citing government officials. As per officials, the government plans to allot the projects on a twin-unit basis, which means each unit will have two BSRs of 220 MW, the report said. Each twin unit is estimated to cost around Rs 6,000-7,000 crore, it added. 'NPCIL is planning a total of either 12 such reactors (six twin units) or 14 reactors (seven twin units). The total investments by the selected companies could range from Rs 35,000 crore to Rs 50,000 crore,' the report quoted an official as saying. What are Bharat Small Reactors or BSRs? Bharat Small Reactors (BSRs) are indigenously-developed compact 220 MW pressurized heavy water reactors (PHWRs), aimed at providing a sustainable, low-carbon energy solution for heavy industries like steel, aluminum, and metals, which can act as captive power plants. There is a growing global demand for small nuclear reactors due to their flexibility, scalability, and lower costs compared to conventional large setups. The Narendra Modi government plans to boost India's nuclear power capacity from 8.7 GW to 22.48 GW by 2031-32 and to 100 GW by 2047, and the deployment of BSRs is a major step towards the fulfilment of that ambitious project. Earlier this year, the government announced the National Nuclear Energy Mission during the Union Budget. An initial outlay of Rs 20,000 crore has been set aside for research and development of small reactors. How successful bidder will be incentivized? According to the report, the company which secures the project will have to finance it in entirety, which includes capital and operational expenditure. It will also be required to to reimburse NPCIL for all costs incurred across the lifecycle, from pre-project assessments to decommissioning. In return, the private firm will be granted assured long-term access to all the electricity generated through the nuclear reactors for captive use, even as the BSR units are required to built under the supervision of the NPCIL, and the state-owned company will also retain the operational control of the asset. When is the tender deadline? The tender, being executed by the state-owned Nuclear Power Corporation of India Ltd (NPCIL), was first floated in January this year and deadline was set for June 30, 2025. However, the deadline was extended till September 30 upon the request of stakeholders who had sought more details about the project. Eligible bidders must have a minimum net worth of Rs 3,000 crore and an annual power requirement of at least 2,500 million units, according to the tender document.
