TSX runs higher on rate cut expectations
Investing.com -- India’s federal cabinet approved a 1 trillion rupee ($11.70 billion) employment-linked incentive (ELI) scheme on Tuesday, designed to generate nearly 35 million jobs over a two-year period.
The program will provide financial incentives to both employers and employees. First-time workers will receive one month’s wages of up to 15,000 rupees ($175), while employers will get subsidies of up to 3,000 rupees per month for two years for each additional employee who maintains employment for at least six months.
The manufacturing sector will receive extended benefits for an additional two years beyond the initial program period, according to the government statement.
The scheme’s benefits will apply to jobs created between August 2025 and July 2027. The government expects approximately 19.2 million beneficiaries to be first-time entrants into India’s job market.
