NEW DELHI: The government has decided that only highly-skilled foreigners, drawing annual salary of over $25,000, would be given employment visas but has lifted the cap on the number of overseas workers that can be engaged in a project. In an order, the home ministry nullified a labour ministry circular that capped foreign workforce to 1% of the total strength in a project, with a minimum of five and maximum of 20 people.

The removal of the cap is expected to help power and steel projects, among others.

"An employment visa is granted to a foreigner if the applicant is a highly skilled and/or qualified professional, who is being engaged or appointed by a company/organisation/ industry/undertaking in India on contract or employment basis," according to the home ministry guidelines.
