Samsung and the members of CITU-backed Samsung India Workers’ Union (SIWU) have reached a pact on wage hikes, promotions and incentives, bringing an end to a nearly eight-month long workers protest at the company’s manufacturing plant in Chennai.
The negotiations, held in the presence of Tamil Nadu labour minister CV Ganesan at the secretariat yesterday, led to a three-year wage agreement covering the period from April 1, 2025 – March 31, 2028.
As per the pact, workers will receive a wage hike of INR 9,000 in FY26, followed by INR 4,500 each in FY27 and FY28, amounting to a total increase of INR 18,000 over three years.
Additionally, based on experience, workers will get a special wage hike ranging from INR 1,000-4,000 over the three-year period. The agreement also includes a one-time promotion for workers who have completed six years of service as of May 31, 2025, but have not received any promotion so far. Other benefits include additional leave and incentives.
“At Samsung, employee welfare remains a top priority. We have constructively engaged with all our workers at the Chennai plant and are delighted to announce a mutual agreement to enhance wages and benefits for the next three years,” a Samsung India spokesperson told Inc42.
“Happy to announce that after sustained dialogue and responsible discussions from all sides, all differences pertaining to the Samsung unit have been settled amicably,” Tami Nadu industries minister TRB Rajaa said on X.
