In good news for project developers sourcing power equipment and erection services from overseas companies, it now appears that the ceiling for the number of foreign workers that can be employed at a greenfield power project has been increased to the lower of 300 and 10% of the entire on-site workforce. The same figures for brownfield expansion projects are 150 and 5%. Some other stipulations part of the soon-to-be notified guidelines, as revealed to this website recently by sources within the government are as follows:
- A person granted a project visa may not be allowed to take up employment in the same Indian Company for a period of two years from the date of commissioning of the project.
- Indian missions, on the reference sheets for Chinese nationals, in particular, must also include specific details of skills, technical qualifications and length of relevant job experience. These particulars, thus, have to be necessarily collected during the time of application.
- No more than two chefs and two interpretors may be allowed per project.|
