TeamLease Report Projects Modest Hiring Growth with Sectoral Variations in H1 FY27

The TeamLease Employment Outlook Report for the first half of FY27 indicates a modest improvement in hiring sentiment across India, with net employment growth projected between 4.7 and 6.6 percent depending on the sector. Manufacturing, engineering, and infrastructure (MEI) employers show strong expansion intent, driven by industrial investments and policy support, especially in semiconductors and clean energy. However, overall hiring remains selective and focused on productivity, digital, and specialized roles amid cost pressures, with routine job layers consolidating.
