$900 for the senior. That's an above average salary, in India, to live comfortably. Still, a bit low for such prestige projects.

Yes, earning that easily puts one in top 10% of the country. I dont think its too low if adjusted for purchasing power and compared to similar developing nations.
Yeah. If you have the knowledge for such a project and level, chances are you can find something -much- better abroad and, you know, not having to live in India.

The Indian Navy has conducted another test-firing of its K-4 nuclear-capable IRBM from INS Arighaat. This is only the third test-launch of the K-4 from a live submarine platform rather than underwater pontoon, following a launch last year also from INS Arighaat as part of that submarine's sea trials, and a launch from INS Arihant back in 2016, also prior to commissioning.
SCMP reports some concern from Indian sources regarding the , but the ships in question do not appear to belong to Yuan Wang series of ballistic missile tracking ships, so it's unclear if there is a real connection between these events.

Gentlemen,
The would be employer in question, the , is an enterprise subordinate to the Indian Ministry of Defence.
These are Indian government jobs . . .
With that said, a significant — if not a disproportionate — percentage of applicants will be drawn by the potential for grey income . . . I mean "entrepreneurial opportunities" rather than official salaries.
Ahh so thats why i was seeing so much 'India has gotten a deterrent against china' posts on twitter, it was related to this
A typical Indian waiter does not make 50k rupees per month. The average wage in India is 25K rupees per month (as per PLFS surveys). That only counts formal jobs. Most Indians work in the informal sector, where wages are lower. You can probably find some waiter at a high-end restaurant or elite hotel earning decently, but they are not the norm.
Yes, 50K is laughable pay for a senior tech position. But India is a very poor country and 50K is way better than most Indians earn.
Let's do a thought experiment. The average pay in Germany (gross) is ~5K euros per month. If we take the same 2x metric, then it would mean your senior engineer at MTU Aero Engines earns about 10K euros per month, which seems reasonable. So in an Indian context, 50K is not actually crazy.
The only way for India to truly catch up is to ear-mark a large budget for AMCA and pay crazy high market rates for the best engineers. But the Indian state has been underfunding the armed forces for many years. And then they panic and do some last-minute imports or try to use jaguars until 2050.
China has a much wider talent pool so I suspect that many engineers working in state-owned firms back 20 years ago weren't making much more than 2X the national average either. But the difference is that the average level of engineering talent is simply much greater in China. In India, you have a small world-class elite and then a huge drop to the median level. In China, there's much more of a gentle gradient. And for a state-owned firm working in defence, you typically don´t get to recruit the elite, because your budget simply cannot allow it. That's mostly true in every country.
It's 50K rupees per month for the Senior position. That's ~$560 at current exchange rates. Not $900.
For the Admin Officer position it's ~$660, and it requires 10 years of experience. This is the reality of the Indian MIC.
