A recent labour reform in Uttar Pradesh has nearly doubled the number of registered factories from 13,000 to over 27,000. This reform has introduced digital inspection platforms and integrated compliance into the Nivesh Mitra portal, which now features GPS and auto-renewal capabilities. Authorities are now allowing a period for rectification before prosecution, striking a balance between enforcement and fairness. For HR teams in manufacturing and industrial zones, this signals a shift towards real-time, automated audit readiness. How can HR align workforce governance and training documentation with these digital notice systems? Should organisations proactively embrace auto-renewal and GPS modes to reduce friction during inspections?
