Overview

  • The Delhi government has announced a hike in minimum wages for all categories of workers, with new rates effective from April 1, 2025.
  • Unskilled workers will now earn a minimum of ₹18,456 per month, while workers with a graduation degree will receive at least ₹24,356 per month.
  • The wage increase is designed to counteract inflation and provide financial relief to a significant number of workers in the state.
  • Workers earning below the revised thresholds can file claims with district-level labor officials to enforce their rights to fair wages.
  • This policy update aligns with the Centre's recently announced dearness allowance rates, reflecting a coordinated approach to managing economic pressures.
