On November 21, 2025, India’s long-awaited Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions (OSH) Code, 2020 came into force. It replaces 13 National Labour laws with a single consolidated Code intended to improve transparency, enhance worker welfare, and promote ease of doing business in India. Significant labour reforms were also brought into force on this date in three additional Codes: the Code on Wages 2019, the Industrial Relations Code 2020, and the Code on Social Security, thereby replacing 29 laws with these four Codes and establishing a framework to enable robust improvements in OHS for workers and employers. It is important to note that many of the detailed provisions will be fully enacted upon the issuance of state rules.
