DELHI: In a significant move, the Delhi government has announced a new minimum wage structure, setting an unparalleled standard for workers’ compensation across the nation. Unskilled workers in the capital will now receive a minimum wage of ₹18,066, while semi-skilled workers are entitled to ₹19,929.
According to Atishi, this decision is not just about wages—it represents a broader commitment to improving the quality of life for Delhi’s residents. Alongside fundamental services such as reliable electricity, clean water, quality schools, and well-equipped hospitals, the government has achieved something unprecedented in India: offering the highest minimum wages for its labor force. This milestone is a testament to the administration’s dedication to social welfare and workers’ rights.
