Salary of Sunil Mittal Bharti, Chairman of Airtel, increased to Rs.30 crore per annum.

Recently, the private telecom companies, including Airtel, steeply hiked their tariffs. Airtel has hiked it’s tariffs up to 21%. Media reports say that, the tariff hike will increase the profits of the private companies by Rs.20,000 crore. The poorer sections of the people are badly affected by this tariff hike. Under this circumstance, Airtel has increased the salary of it’s Chairman, Sunil Mittal Bharti, to Rs.30 crore per annum. Presently, his salary is Rs.15 crore per annum. This salary increase will be implemented from 1^st April, 2023. The telecom tariff hike is a classic example of how the corporates flourish by looting the the common people and how the government remains as a silent spectator.
