The Delhi Government has announced an increase in minimum wages for workers, effective October 1st. Chief Minister Atishi stated that Delhi now has the highest minimum wage in India. Major apparel manufacturers in areas like Gandhi Nagar and Tank Road, employing over 500,000 workers, primarily work on piece rates, which remain unaffected by the minimum wage increase. Factory owners believe market forces will dictate any adjustments in piece rates, mitigating the impact of the new wages.
