What's the best way to negotiate your package

A little background info before I get into the details:

I have left appraisals at the table (twice) to pursue better opportunities which offered me a varied job role. I am now stuck at the same organization for two years and my appraisal conversation has been going on for 7 months. Ridiculous, I know. This company has no growth prospects. I have not grown in the last two years in any aspect. Regret the day I left the appraisal & job promotion at my previous organization to join this company.

Naturally, I've started my job search and have landed a few offers but no one seems to offer me more than 30% and I need to correct my salary.

How's the best way to ensure I get a package that can offer over 30%? I need atleast 45-50% to correct my salary.

Very hard to cross that 30% raise when HRs are shameless asking CTCs. How I would approach is not share CTC and instead ask the range of salary provided by the org. If that range fits my need I would go ahead with interviews and even tell a number of what I want.

Eventually when rounds go good, they will still ask for your payslip or something and at that point you can negotiate why you need 50%, market correction, good fit in job etc
