8th Pay Commission Big Update: THIS State government prepares budget estimates based on..., over 7 lakh employees to get..., salary hike by...
New Delhi: The Madhya Pradesh government is reportedly preparing the budget to implement salaries and pensions as per the 8th Pay Commission for around 7.5 lakh regular government employees and 4.5 lakh pensioners. An estimated 15 percent increase in salary and pension is being anticipated. It is important to note that the Modi government has already constituted the 8th Pay Commission and appointed its chairman.
The Mohan Yadav-led Madhya Pradesh government is also preparing budget projections for the coming years. A committee has also been formed in this regard. Currently, officials, employees, and pensioners in the state are being paid according to the 7th Pay Commission. Around 33 percent of the total annual budget is currently spent on this. Here are some of the important details: The tenure of the 7th Pay Commission is set to end in December 2025.
It is likely that the 8th Pay Commission may submit its report to the central government before that.
Once approved, the Madhya Pradesh government will implement the 8th Pay Commission
The states will assess their financial situation, and then they will consider the formula prescribed for central government employees.
The government accepts the formula for salary and pension hikes, but allowances are often reduced.
Under the 7th Pay Commission, a multiplication factor of 2.75 was used to calculate the revised pay, meaning the basic salary was multiplied by 2.75 to determine the new pay scale.
At that time, the monthly salary increased by Rs 7,000 to Rs 18,000. Government spending 33 percent of the budget on establishment expenses
The 8th Pay Commission could be fixed at around 3 to 3.25 percent, considering inflation and other factors. As a result, the state's establishment expenditure — which currently accounts for 33 percent of the annual budget — may increase to 37 to 40 percent.
At present, the Finance Department has directed all departments to prepare establishment expenditure proposals assuming a 3 percent annual salary increase.

NCLT approves merger of AEL's Adani Cementation with Ambuja Cements
The National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) has approved the merger of Adani Cementation Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Adani Enterprises Limited (AEL), with Ambuja Cements Limited. "National Company Law Tribunal, Ahmedabad Bench (NCLT Ahmedabad) has on 18th July 2025 pronounced the order sanctioning the Scheme of Amalgamation of Adani Cementation Limited with Ambuja Cements Limited," Adani Enterprises said in an exchange filing. The Gautam Adani-led conglomerate had announced a consolidation of its cement businesses in June 2024. The scheme is set to take effect from April 1, 2024, once all steps in the merger agreement are completed, as stated in the 70-page NCLT order. Impact on Companies and Shareholders As part of the merger, Adani Enterprises will receive 8.7 million shares of Ambuja Cements. The swap ratio will be 174 shares of Ambuja Cements for every 1 share of Adani Cementation, the company had said in an earlier statement. The merger will be executed through share swapping. All property rights, assets, and liabilities of Adani Cementation will transfer to Ambuja Cements. The NCLT has instructed Ambuja Cements, a listed company, to "comply with all applicable regulations, circulars and directions" issued by market regulator Sebi, as well as stock exchanges BSE, NSE, and the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. Ambuja Cements' Global Depository Receipts (GDRs) are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. Rationale and Strategic Benefits The consolidation is aimed at synergising Adani Group's cement operations, enhancing value addition, and improving operational efficiencies for both companies. "The amalgamation will help the transferee company to quickly start the construction activity at various sites of the transferor company and that of the wholly-owned subsidiary of the transferor company," both companies said. Adani Cementation holds lease rights to limestone mines, approximately 275 million tonnes at Lakhpat, Gujarat, and has proposed a major manufacturing unit at Raigad, Maharashtra. Market Position and Expansion Plans Adani Group forayed into the cement sector in September 2022 by acquiring a controlling stake in Ambuja Cement from Swiss company Holcim in a $6.4 billion deal. Adani Group has ascended to become India's second-largest cement manufacturer, recently crossing 100 MTPA of capacity. Meanwhile, UltraTech Cement, which recently acquired Kesoram and India Cements, remains the country's largest, already surpassing 150 MTPA, and is ambitiously targeting over 200 MTPA by financial year (FY)27.
