The Indian government collaborates with the technology association Nasscom to evaluate the consequences of the United States' new H-1B visa pricing structure. Washington will charge companies $100,000 annually for each visa application starting September 21. Officials coordinate responses through diplomatic channels while consulting industry representatives about potential business disruptions.
American corporations face the greatest financial burden since they depend heavily on Indian technical expertise for specialized positions. Analysts predict that the policy shift may accelerate the development of the Global Capability Center within India, as companies seek alternative talent solutions. Indian professionals currently hold the largest portion of H-1B visas among all nationalities.
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman highlighted India's dominant position, with nearly half of the world's capability centers located within its borders. These facilities drive innovation and research while creating employment opportunities across multiple sectors. The nation operates approximately 1,700 such centers, with projections indicating that the number will reach 2,100 facilities by 2030.
