Wage hike protests: Noida’s 10-year minimum pay rise half of Delhi, Gurugram; not enough to offset inflation
Minimum wages for unskilled workers in Noida and Ghaziabad have lagged significantly behind inflation over the past decade, unlike Delhi, Gurgaon, and Faridabad.
While Delhi and Haryana towns saw wage hikes nearly doubling, UP's industrial belts experienced a mere 42% increase, failing to keep pace with rising prices.
This disparity means real wages have effectively declined in Noida and Ghaziabad.
