Indian Workers to Mauritius: Labour Mobility Partnership

New Delhi, Jun 10 (PTI) Union Minister Jayant Chaudhary flagged off a contingent of 14 Indian skilled workers departing for Mauritius under the Government-to-Government Labour Mobility Framework established between the two nations, the government said on Wednesday.

The departure follows the successful placement of the first batch of Indian workers who have already travelled to Mauritius and commenced employment under the programme.

"With another 14 workers departing and 33 additional candidates currently undergoing work permit and documentation processes, the initiative is steadily creating structured overseas employment opportunities for Indian youth under a transparent government-supported framework," an official statement said.

Addressing the departing candidates, Chaudhary, Minister for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship, said: "India's skilled workforce is increasingly being recognised across the world for its talent, professionalism and adaptability. The growing momentum of the India-Mauritius mobility partnership reflects the confidence that global employers place in Indian talent."

Through trusted Government-to-Government partnerships, we are creating safe, transparent and aspirational pathways for international employment while ensuring that Indian workers are equipped to succeed and thrive in a rapidly evolving world, he added.


The India-Mauritius labour mobility partnership is being implemented under the Memorandum of Understanding on Employment of Workers signed between the two countries in May 2023.

The framework aims to facilitate ethical recruitment, worker welfare, transparency and structured mobility pathways aligned with the laws and labour standards of both countries.

The departed candidates represent seven states across the country. The group includes six candidates from Uttar Pradesh, two each from Bihar and Himachal Pradesh, and one candidate each from Manipur, Rajasthan, Haryana and Punjab.

The candidates bring experience across retail operations, logistics, customer service, hospitality and technical trades, reflecting the diversity and quality of India's skilled workforce.

The selected candidates will be working across a range of functions at Super U Mauritius, including retail operations, inventory management, customer service, food preparation, and electrical maintenance.

They will be engaged under three-year employment contracts with an annual compensation package of approximately Rs 4 lakh - Rs 4.5 lakh, along with company-supported accommodation, local transportation, overtime, work permits, medical coverage, and other statutory benefits.
