New Labour Codes 2026: Comprehensive Compliance Checklist for Employers and MSMEs

Title - New Labour Codes 2026: Comprehensive Compliance Checklist for Employers and MSMEs





PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PHDCCI) commends the Government of India, under the leadership of the Prime Minister and the Ministry of Labour and Employment, for bringing the four Labour Codes into force on 21 November 2025. It is the most comprehensive overhaul of India’s labour laws since Independence.

The reform replaces 29 central laws, many dating from the colonial and early post-Independence era, with four modern Codes.

The Government has also delivered on implementation. Final Central Rules and the Model Standing Orders followed on 8–9 May 2026, and new EPF, EPS and EDLI Schemes took effect on 29 June 2026. Industry now has the clarity it needs to plan, invest and hire.

Title -  Life-Cycle Assessment of Packaging Materials: Measuring Real Environmental Impact The trend of living an eco-friendly life has become quite prevalent in recent times, but sadly, it seems that most enterprises and people are still guessing or using their intuitions to figure out what is eco-friendly, which may result in ignorance. A consumer will immediately connect an earthy-looking material, such as unbleached cardboard or a 'compostable' sticker on the package, with the idea of going green. But that first impression might be quite misleading. The impact the packaging has on the environment is not a simple, separate occurrence but rather a long, complicated story that traverses the world supply chain.   The Great Packaging Illusion We all find ourselves in such a scenario at the grocery store, don’t we? Two products, looking exactly alike, are the ones that draw our attention. One of them is in a plastic container, the other one in a beautiful glass jar with a...

Title -  How Skill Development Programs Are Boosting Entrepreneurship An astonishingly great transformation is going on in the whole of India. The country is moving boldly forward into a new economic phase, which to some extent already acknowledges the people’s potential (that remains untapped) as the biggest asset. The government’s actions are not simply policies but rather the very lifeblood of the country, and they are designed to eliminate the  financial barriers  that limit people’s dreams and aspirations and to equip every citizen with the cutting-edge skills necessary not just for owning a business but also for thriving in the marketplace. India aims to transform its diverse population into a bastion of job creators, and this is the way it is going to be in the future, i.e., resilient, inclusive, and, most importantly, self-reliant, with cheerful confidence. https://www.phdcci.in/blog/how-skill-development-programs-are-boosting-entrepreneurship/
