New Delhi: Delhi’s NCR region has emerged as the leader in creating the maximum number of jobs in 2013, followed by Bengaluru with four per cent growth.
Despite political uncertainty, Hyderabad is ranked third among top six metros, with one per cent growth in new jobs. However, the overall generation of new employment avenues declined last year, says an Assocham study.
Information technology (IT)-enabled services (ITeS) and IT hardware sector together accounted for a majority share of about 43 per cent in the total number of new jobs generated across sectors in 2013, the study found.
“About 5.50 lakh new jobs were generated across India during January-December 2013 as compared to over 5.52 lakh new jobs a year ago thereby registering marginal decline of about 0.4 per cent,” it said.
“Cornering over one-fourth share of the total number of new jobs generated across India, Delhi-NCR emerged on top with over 1.39 lakh new jobs created during 2013,” it added.
Mumbai and Chennai have registered an alarming fall of over 22 per cent and 21 per cent respectively, while Kolkata has two per cent decline in the creation of new jobs. Ahmedabad too saw a decline of about 6.5 per cent.
In the tier II category, prominent cities that registered a surge in hiring activity during 2013 include Chandigarh (19 per cent), Kanpur (21 per cent), Ranchi (25 per cent), Raipur (25 per cent) and Vizag (1.5 per cent).
