India's southern Tamil Nadu state has put on hold a bill that would allow a 12-hour workday at factories after talks with labour unions who oppose the plan, a statement from the government said on Monday.
Several labour unions including the All India Trade Union Congress and Centre of Indian Trade Unions had opposed the bill and were planning a one-day strike affecting workers from tens of factories next month.
"The government passed the bill aiming to attract big investments and increase employment opportunities for youngsters," said a statement from M.K. Stalin, the state's chief minister, on Monday.
