The numbers here are pulled together from official government wage data, large independent salary surveys, and aggregated worker-reported pay. Most reported salaries include the benefits that are common in India, such as housing or transport allowances, which is worth keeping in mind if you're comparing against a country where those are usually paid on top.

A typical engineering project coordinator working in India brings home around 32,341 INR a month before tax. Entry-level pay starts near 209,500 INR, and the top of the ladder reaches roughly 589,400 INR for the most experienced and specialised people in the role.

The wide gap between low end and top end reflects how much pay can vary inside the same job title. A junior engineering project coordinator working at a small local employer earns very different money from a senior at a multinational. Skills, employer, city and years in the seat all push the number around.

How engineering project coordinator pay ranges in India

A good way to think about salary in India is to look at the distribution rather than the headline average. Half of all engineering project coordinators in India earn less than 359,900 INR a year, and the other half earn more. That middle number is the median, and it is usually more useful than the average for answering "is my pay normal here".

Looking at the quartiles fills in the picture. A quarter of earners take home less than 258,400 INR (the 25th percentile), and a quarter clear 437,300 INR (the 75th percentile). The middle 50% of engineering project coordinators sit somewhere inside that band, which is where the typical reader of this page probably lives.

The very lowest reported salaries sit around 209,500 INR. The highest stretch to 589,400 INR, though only a small fraction of earners ever reach that level. If you are deciding whether your own offer or current pay is reasonable, work out which of those four bands you would fall into and use that as your reference point.

Engineering project coordinator pay by experience in India

Years of experience is the single biggest lever on pay for an engineering project coordinator in India, ahead of education and almost any other single factor. The longer you have been in the role, the more your employer can trust you to handle complexity, mentor others and act independently, all of which command higher pay. The chart below shows how the typical engineering project coordinator salary changes as you move through the career ladder.

  • 0-2 Years
    245,300 INR
  • 2-5 Years
    +26% from previous
    308,300 INR
  • 5-10 Years

    +10% from previous
    529,600 INR
  • 20+ Years
    +6% from previous
    563,300 INR

The single largest jump on the ladder is from 2 - 5 Years to 5 - 10 Years, where pay rises by about 32%. That is the point at which a engineering project coordinator typically goes from "competent in the role" to "the person other people in the team learn from", and the market pays well for that step.

Engineering project coordinator pay by education in India

Education sits alongside experience as one of the biggest factors driving engineering project coordinator pay in India. Higher qualifications consistently pull higher salaries, but the size of the gap tends to be smallest at junior levels and widens as people move up. Two people in the same role with the same years of experience but different degrees can end up earning very different money once they reach mid-career.

Engineering project coordinator gender pay gap in India

The gender pay gap is a stubborn feature of almost every labour market, and India is no exception. Male engineering project coordinators in India earn an average of 406,300 INR a year, while female engineering project coordinators earn around 369,900 INR. That works out to a 10% gap in favour of men, even when comparing people doing the same work.

A pay gap of this size has a real long-term cost. Over a typical thirty-year career it can add up to several years of pay, and it compounds through pensions, retirement contributions and bonus-linked stock. Some of the gap is explained by women being more likely to work part-time, take career breaks, or be steered toward lower-paying specialisations. Some of it is straightforward unequal pay for the same job, which is harder to defend.

Pay raises for an engineering project coordinator in India

Most countries hand out at least some kind of pay raise every year, typically when an employee's contract is reviewed or as a cost-of-living adjustment to keep wages roughly in step with inflation. The rhythm and size of those raises varies hugely between industries.

A typical worker doing this role in India sees a raise of about 12% every 17 months, which works out to roughly 8% on an annual basis. That figure is the typical underlying rate; in years where inflation runs high you can usually expect a bit more, and in flat-economy years a bit less.

Across all jobs in India, the national average raise is around 9% every 16 months.

Engineering project coordinator bonus rates in India

Bonuses are the other half of total compensation, and they vary a lot between jobs and industries. Some roles are paid almost entirely in base salary; others lean heavily on bonus structures tied to revenue, project completion or company performance. Whether a job pays a bonus, how big it is, and how often it lands all factor into whether the headline salary is actually a good offer.

26%

26% of engineering project coordinators in India reported a bonus of some kind in the past twelve months. That makes an engineering project coordinator a low-bonus role overall, which is useful context when you're weighing up a job offer where the base is below market.

Among those who did receive a bonus, the size of the payment varied substantially. Reported bonuses ranged from 1% to 2% of base salary. The remaining 74% of engineering project coordinators reported no bonus at all over the same period.

Which careers pay bonuses in India
