Ambani, who is the richest Indian, will still take home a hefty dividend payment for his shareholding in the energy conglomerate.
“The chairman and managing director’s compensation has been set at Rs 15 crore as against Rs 38.75 crore as approved, reflecting his desire to continue to set a personal example for moderation in managerial compensation levels,” the company said in its Annual Report for 2016-17.
