Salaries are projected to increase by 10 per cent in India in 2018, the highest in the Asia Pacific region, according to a report.

The highest projected salary rise is seen in the energy, FMCG and retail sectors.

&quot;Salaries in India are projected to rise 10 per cent in 2018, same as the actual increase in 2017,&quot; according to the &#39;Q3 2017 Salary Budget Planning Report&#39; released by global advisory, broking, and solutions company Willis Towers Watson.

The report covered a range of industries, including BPO, chemicals, construction &amp; engineering, consumer products &amp; retail, financial services, high tech, manufacturing, media, pharmaceutical &amp; health sciences, business and technical consulting and transportation and logistics.

For this, a survey was conducted in July among 4,000 respondents in Asia Pacific, in which about 300 companies participated in the India market.

Although salaries in India are seeing a decreasing pattern in the year-on-year salary increases, the country&#39;s projected salaries for 2018 is still the highest in the Asia Pacific region, the report said.

Among other countries, Indonesia is projected to record 8.5 per cent growth, China 7 per cent, The Philippines 6 per cent and Hong Kong and Singapore both 4 per cent, it added.

&quot;India continues to show high salary increments compared to other countries in the Asia Pacific region. However, given the decreasing pattern in the year-on-year salary growth, Indian employees could see a single digit salary increase in 2018 for the first time since 2011,&quot; Willis Towers Watson Data Services Practice Leader, Asia Pacific, Sambhav Rakyan said.

He said given this trend and the rapid evolution of jobs, skill and the future of work, especially for tech-savvy talent, companies are required to rethink their talent attraction and retention strategies and realise that simply increasing compensation is not a sustainable solution.

&quot;We are also seeing that progressive employers are beginning to leverage employee benefits as a strong lever in differentiating their employee value proposition and ensuring greater transparency in compensation and benefits related communication,&quot; he added.

Salary allocation for top performers in 2017 grew to 39 per cent, up from last year&#39;s 38 per cent, Rakyan said.

On the other hand, the budget set aside for average performance decreased by 1 per cent to 27 per cent, he added.

These changes are marginal, but as salary budgets get tighter, it still reflects the sentiment of employers to reward top performers, Willis Towers Watson India Director, Rewards, Arvind Usretay said.

&quot;Therefore, now we see more companies relying on robust processes, governance, and training at driving linkages between performance and pay. We expect this trend to gather greater momentum in the next couple of years as companies sharpen their pay for performance policies,&quot; he added.

Among the industries covered in the report, the highest projected salary increase is seen in the energy, FMCG and retail sectors.

At 10.5 per cent, these sectors are expected to do better than the overall projected salary of 10 per cent.

While at 9.1 per cent, the financial services is the only sector where the projected salary is less than the overall estimated rise, the report added.

&quot;Given the labour arbitrage advantage, segments such as back-office operations based out of India can be expected to offer above-average increases.

&quot;Start-ups and smaller MNCs are also likely to offer above average salary increases to attract and retain critical skill employees,&quot; Rakyan added.

The report covered a range of industries, including BPO, chemicals, construction & engineering, consumer products & retail, financial services, high tech, manufacturing, media, pharmaceutical & health sciences, business and technical consulting and transportation and logistics.

India to see 10 per cent salary increase in 2018: Report

At a solemn ceremony in Haifa, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu laid wreaths at the Indian War Cemetery in Haifa.

Forty-four&nbsp;Indian soldiers had died liberating the city during World War I.

The two prime ministers unveiled a plaque commemorating Major Dalpat Singh, who had led the cavalry charge that resulted in the liberation of Haifa.

&quot;I am deeply honoured to stand here today to salute the valiant soldiers, who laid down their lives for the liberation of Haifa during the first World War,&quot; Modi wrote in the visitors&#39;&nbsp;book.

He also wrote that 2018, the centenary of the Battle of Haifa, would present another opportunity to mark the enduring bond between India and Israel. &nbsp;

The three Teen Murti statues in Delhi represent the Hyderabad, Jodhpur, and Mysore Lancers who were part of the 15 Imperial Service Cavalry Brigade.

The brigade carried out the charge on the fortified city of Haifa on September 23, 1918, during World War I.

There are various accounts of the battle, but most tell of the valour of the&nbsp;lancers&nbsp;who undertook the assault on the garrisoned town of Haifa protected by the Ottoman Army.

The lancers&nbsp;were armed with lances -- hence the name -- the Ottomans had machine guns.&nbsp;

The capture of Haifa cleared a route for the Allies to the sea.

Even today, the 61st Cavalry celebrates September 23 as its Raising Day or &quot;Haifa Day&quot;.&nbsp;
