The cluster
Odisha’s temple city and its thousand-year-old twin.
Bhubaneswar, Odisha’s capital since 1948, is known as the Temple City, while Cuttack, across the Mahanadi, was the state’s capital for nearly nine centuries and is famous for its silver filigree. Their industrial estates at Mancheswar, Chandaka, Khurda and Jagatpur host pipes, garments, building products, food processing and engineering units.
New investment is bringing larger plants to the twin cities. Employers need workforces built and trained from the ground up, and contractors who apply Odisha’s rules correctly, including the end of Professional Tax from April 2026.

Questions employers ask about staffing in Bhubaneswar–Cuttack

It depends on the numbers, skills and shifts. As a guide from our own work: for a greenfield cable plant near Ahmedabad we mobilised about 200 workmen in three months, and for an FMCG plant in Aligarh we deployed 125+ workers in 45 days. We agree a ramp-up plan with you before the first deployment.

In Odisha, the minimum wage for an unskilled worker is ₹12,428 a month (₹478 a day), with higher rates for semi-skilled and skilled workers. The full table, with the effective date and source, is on this page.
Do Professional Tax and Labour Welfare Fund apply in Odisha?
In Odisha, there is no Professional Tax and Labour Welfare Fund contributions apply. PF and ESI apply everywhere. TNSL deducts and deposits every applicable due and shares the supporting records and challans with you as agreed.
Can you build a workforce for a new plant near Bhubaneswar?
Yes. We recruit locally across Khordha, Cuttack and Puri districts, induct workers before deployment, and set up attendance, payroll and statutory compliance from the first day of production.
As the principal employer, what is my liability for contract workers?
Under contract labour law, the principal employer must ensure contract workers are paid on time and that PF, ESI and other dues are deposited; if the contractor fails, the liability can fall on you. TNSL removes that risk by paying on time, depositing every due, and keeping licences, registers and challans audit-ready for your inspection.
