India’s New Era of Labor Laws

On November 21, 2025, India implemented a sweeping overhaul of its labor law regime, transforming labor compliance nationwide. This reform consolidates and updates 29 central labor laws into four comprehensive labor codes: the Code on Wages (2019), the Code on Social Security (2020), the Industrial Relations Code (2020), and the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code (2020) (collectively, the “Labor Codes”).
