The cluster
North India’s Loha Nagri.
Mandi Gobindgarh in Fatehgarh Sahib district is known as Loha Nagri, the iron city, for its dense concentration of re-rolling mills, induction furnaces and castings units. Together with neighbouring Khanna, it produces bars, angles and structural steel for construction and engineering across North India.
Steel units run hot, heavy and continuous operations. Employers need physically fit, safety-trained workers, contractors who take safety induction seriously, and wage and overtime records that are accurate for every shift.

Questions employers ask about staffing in Mandi Gobindgarh
How quickly can TNSL deploy contract workers in Mandi Gobindgarh?
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 Mandi Gobindgarh?
In Punjab, the minimum wage for an unskilled worker is ₹13,486 a month (₹518.69 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 Punjab?
In Punjab, 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 induct workers for safety in hot and heavy operations?
Yes. Every worker gets a site-specific safety induction before deployment, covering PPE, hot work, material handling and emergency procedures, and we keep the induction and attendance records for your audits.
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.
