New Delhi, October 23: Tata Technologies is planning to increase hiring of local employees in the US in response to the recent hike in H-1B visa fees introduced under President Donald Trump’s immigration policies. The development comes as part of the company’s strategy to adapt to changing regulations affecting foreign talent. Unlike Tata Technologies, TCS had earlier indicated that it does not intend to recruit new H-1B visa holders.

Indian nationals made up almost three-fourths of H-1B visa beneficiaries last year. As per a report of Reuters, Tata Technologies CEO and Managing Director Warren Harris said, "As we react and respond to the change in legislation in and around visas, it will mean that we will be recruiting more local nationals in the United States." Tata Technologies does not provide detailed revenue or employee figures by country, but North America reportedly contributed about a fifth of its 51.68 billion rupees (USD 587.97 million) for 2024-2025. The company, which serves clients like Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), Vietnamese EV maker VinFast, and Boeing, already has a workforce composed of more than 70 percent local employees in China, Sweden, the UK, and the US.
