7 Big Takeaways on Salary Growth in India’s MEI Sector
how India’s Manufacturing, Engineering, and Infrastructure sector is evolving, showing how digital adoption, Industry 4.0, and smart manufacturing hubs are reshaping roles, driving skill-driven growth, and redefining where talent earns its true worth.
The Manufacturing, Engineering, and Infrastructure (MEI) industry in India is geared up for a strong year, with an expected salary growth of 7.9% in FY 2025–26, according to TeamLease’s latest report. From IT engineers to blue-collar electricians, the numbers reflect both a digital-first push and steady demand for traditional technical skills. The MEI sector is recalibrating for efficiency-driven growth. This reflects India’s broader focus on Industry 4.0 adoption, EV clusters, infrastructure corridors, and smart manufacturing setups.
