Business Today says that 50% of employees in the Delhi-NCR region will continue working from home until 20 November, outlining which sectors are included and which are not.
Business Today has reported that half of the workforce in Delhi-NCR will remain on a work‑from‑home (WFH) arrangement until 20 November. The directive applies to employees whose employers have opted for a 50% remote‑work model, allowing them to avoid daily commutes while maintaining productivity.
The coverage includes most IT services, BPOs, and several corporate offices that have already adopted hybrid schedules. However, sectors such as manufacturing, logistics and frontline retail are largely excluded, as on‑site presence remains essential for operations.
Company officials say the temporary measure is aimed at easing traffic congestion and reducing peak‑hour pollution in the capital region. They also note that the policy will be reviewed after the 20‑November deadline, with possible extensions based on public health guidelines and employee feedback.
Employees benefiting from the arrangement have been provided with necessary IT infrastructure and stipends for home‑office expenses. The move reflects a broader shift in Indian workplaces toward flexible working models post‑pandemic.
