Apollo Tyres’ chairman Onkar Kanwar had a marginal 0.16 percent rise in salary last fiscal to nearly Rs 45 crore, according to the report.
Last month, minority shareholders had reportedly rejected the re-appointment of Neeraj Kanwar as Managing Director of Apollo Tyres due to compensation issues.
The company, however, defended its decision to reappoint Neeraj Kanwar as the MD.
