The cluster

Maharashtra’s foundry and textile city.

Kolhapur, the historic seat of the Chhatrapatis and home of the Kolhapuri chappal, built its industry on sugar cooperatives and engineering. Its foundries in Shiroli and Gokul Shirgaon supply castings to automotive and engineering companies worldwide, and the Kagal five-star MIDC area adds textiles and new plants. Ichalkaranji nearby is a major textile town.

Foundries need physically demanding work done safely, and textile units need skilled operators. TNSL screens and inducts for both and keeps wage and overtime records accurate.

Questions employers ask about staffing in Kolhapur

How quickly can TNSL deploy contract workers in Kolhapur?

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.

What is the minimum wage for contract workers in Kolhapur?

In Maharashtra, the minimum wage for an unskilled worker (Zone I: municipal corporation areas, and industrial areas within 20 km of them) is ₹14,155 a month (₹544.42 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 Maharashtra?

In Maharashtra, Professional Tax applies 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.

Do you supply workers for foundries?

Yes. We supply moulders, core makers, fettlers, furnace helpers and machine operators, with safety induction for hot work and heavy handling before deployment.

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.
