The Industrial Disputes (Lakshadweep) Amendment Regulation, 2025

This Regulation amends the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, specifically for the Union territory of Lakshadweep. It establishes that the Administrator of Lakshadweep functions as the State Government for the purposes of the Act. The Regulation imposes stricter notice requirements for strikes and lockouts, extending them to all industrial establishments, not just public utility services, and increases the notice period to sixty days. Furthermore, it raises the threshold for requiring government permission for lay-offs, retrenchment, and closure from one hundred to three hundred workmen. These changes regulate industrial relations and labor management within the Lakshadweep territory.
