Classification of Areas

To further clarify development levels within these zones, authorities have introduced the following classifications:

  • Group A: This group includes highly developed regions such as the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) and Pune Metropolitan Region (PMR).
  • Group B: These areas have witnessed moderate development.
  • Group C: Regions in this group are less developed compared to Group B.
  • Group D: This group covers the least developed areas, excluding those in Groups A, B, or C.
  • Group D+: This category represents the most underdeveloped areas, not included in Groups A, B, C, or D.

By categorizing wages in this manner, Maharashtra ensures that minimum wages align with each region’s specific level of development. This approach not only promotes fairness but also highlights the state’s commitment to fostering regional equity.
