Wage protests in Northern India disrupt electronics output as Uttar Pradesh raises pay
What happened
Worker protests demanding higher wages disrupted electronics manufacturing in India's Noida-Greater Noida industrial belt in mid-April, a key hub for smartphone assembly. The Uttar Pradesh government responded by raising the minimum wage for unskilled workers by 7.5% to INR 12,000 per month. Watch: Labor unrest introduces localized supply chain risk for consumer electronics, though the immediate, widespread price impact is uncertain.
