Nirmala Sitharaman to hold meeting with industry to discuss H-1B visa concerns

India TV News  

Amid concerns being raised by India Inc on the US visa regime, the commerce and industry ministry today confirmed a meeting with industry including Nasscom to discuss the issue. Commerce and Industry Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said that India is closely monitoring the developments and is constantly in touch with the councillor office in the US. Industry body Nasscom has said that it will take a delegation of senior executives to Washington DC later this month to reach out to the new US administration as well as senators on concerns around clampdown on visas and flow of skilled manpower between the two nations. The proposed overhaul of popular H-1B visa regime by American President Donald Trump has raised concerns among the Indian IT firms, as any changes in the visa regime may result in higher operational costs and shortage of skilled workers for the $110 billion Indian outsourcing industry.
