The Factories (Lakshadweep) Amendment Regulation, 2025, modifies the Factories Act, 1948, specifically for the Union territory of Lakshadweep. It redefines a factory by increasing the minimum worker threshold for establishments using power from ten to twenty, and for those not using power from twenty to forty. The regulation increases the maximum daily working hours from nine to ten and extends the spread-over period to twelve hours. It also raises the overtime limit to one hundred and forty-four hours and permits women to work night shifts with consent and safety provisions. These changes adjust industrial operational standards within the territory.
