In September, the Indian Parliament finally approved the government’s three labour codes, part of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s long-promised labour law reform package that consolidates and simplifies India’s myriad labour laws at the Central and state levels. The reforms are designed to attract more investment and build India into a manufacturing powerhouse and no doubt those will be a boost for the Indian economy.
