Average Production Engineering Supervisor Salary in India for 2026
A production engineering supervisor in India earns about 514,300 INR a year. That's 34% above the national average of 384,200 INR.
Pay ranges widely from country to country and from role to role. The lowest reported salaries in India sit around 237,400 INR a year, while the very top stretches to 817,800 INR. Everything on this page is in Indian rupee (INR, symbol ₹), which lets you compare numbers like-for-like without worrying about exchange rates.
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.
How much does a production engineering supervisor make in India?
A typical production engineering supervisor working in India brings home around 42,858 INR a month before tax. Entry-level pay starts near 237,400 INR, and the top of the ladder reaches roughly 817,800 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 production engineering supervisor 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 production engineering supervisor 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 production engineering supervisors in India earn less than 553,400 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 354,000 INR (the 25th percentile), and a quarter clear 739,500 INR (the 75th percentile). The middle 50% of production engineering supervisors sit somewhere inside that band, which is where the typical reader of this page probably lives.
The very lowest reported salaries sit around 237,400 INR. The highest stretch to 817,800 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.
Production engineering supervisor pay by experience in India
Years of experience is the single biggest lever on pay for a production engineering supervisor 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 production engineering supervisor salary changes as you move through the career ladder.
- 0-2 Years267,100 INR
- 2-5 Years+34% from previous357,700 INR
- 5-10 Years+48% from previous528,600 INR
- 10-15 Years+22% from previous643,800 INR
- 15-20 Years+9% from previous704,300 INR
- 20+ Years+8% from previous759,300 INR
The single largest jump on the ladder is from 2 - 5 Years to 5 - 10 Years, where pay rises by about 48%. That is the point at which a production engineering supervisor 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.
Production engineering supervisor pay by education in India
Education sits alongside experience as one of the biggest factors driving production engineering supervisor 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.

Production engineering supervisor gender pay gap in India
The gender pay gap is a stubborn feature of almost every labour market, and India is no exception. Male production engineering supervisors in India earn an average of 559,000 INR a year, while female production engineering supervisors earn around 464,900 INR. That works out to a 20% 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 a production engineering supervisor 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 11% every 18 months, which works out to roughly 7% 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.

Production engineering supervisor 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.
60% of production engineering supervisors in India reported a bonus of some kind in the past twelve months. That makes a production engineering supervisor a moderate-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 2% to 7% of base salary. The remaining 40% of production engineering supervisors reported no bonus at all over the same period.
