The Uttar Pradesh government has increased minimum wages across worker categories after unrest in Noida, with the revised rates implemented retrospectively from April 1.
Under the new rates, unskilled workers in Gautam Buddh Nagar and Ghaziabad will earn ₹13,690 per month, up from ₹11,313.
The decision followed consultations with employers’ groups and labour organisations, with suggestions and objections reviewed to arrive at a “balanced and practical” outcome.
The revision comes after large-scale protests by factory workers in Noida on Monday, where thousands demanded higher wages and improved working conditions.
Chief minister Yogi Adityanath has appealed to the public to trust only information received from official sources.
