Overview

  • The Delhi government has increased minimum wages for all worker categories, with new rates effective from April 1, 2025.
  • Unskilled workers will now earn a minimum of ₹18,456 per month, while graduates will receive at least ₹24,356 per month.
  • The wage hike aligns with central dearness allowance adjustments to mitigate inflation's impact on workers.
  • Workers earning below the revised minimum wage can file claims with the Joint or Deputy Labour Commissioner in their district.
  • This move positions Delhi as a leader in labor welfare, offering some of the highest minimum wages in India compared to other states.
