Overview

India has introduced major labor reforms under new Labour Codes, significantly expanding workplace rights for women. Women can now work across all establishments, including previously restricted sectors, and may opt for night shifts with explicit consent. Employers must ensure safety, transport, and facilities for women working night shifts. These reforms aim to boost women's labor force participation, modernize labor rules, and simplify compliance for a more inclusive market.
