India’s zero mile, and a central logistics hub.

Nagpur is known for its oranges and for the Zero Mile Stone, which the British used as the centre point for measuring distances across India. Its industrial areas at Hingna and Butibori host tractor, engineering, textile and explosives plants, while MIHAN, the multi-modal hub around the airport, adds aircraft maintenance, IT and logistics.

Nagpur’s central location makes it a natural base for distribution across India. Employers need flexible workforces for plants and warehouses, and contractors who keep every record accurate.

Questions employers ask about staffing in Nagpur

How quickly can TNSL deploy contract workers in Nagpur?

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 Nagpur?

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.

Can you staff distribution centres that serve all of India from Nagpur?

Yes. We supply pickers, packers, loaders and inventory staff, roster them across shifts, and plan peak-season ramp-ups with you in advance.

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.
