Information-technology (IT) services major Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has told the Union labour ministry that deferring the onboarding of selected candidates is "nothing new", while reaffirming its commitment to honouring job offers made to over 600 experienced professionals.

The company conveyed this in an email on Thursday night, even as its management skipped a scheduled in-person meeting at the office of the Chief Labour Commissioner (CLC) on Friday.

"In an email sent late last night to the labour ministry, the IT giant clarified its position regarding the matter. It said it would 'honour' the commitments made to these professionals. There is some delay in immediately onboarding them, but they remain committed to onboarding them," said an official familiar with the communication.

A meeting was convened following a complaint by the Nascent Information Technology Employees Senate (NITES) regarding delays in onboarding lateral hires. While NITES representatives were present at the CLC office on Friday, the TCS management was absent.

No TCS representative appeared physically at the meeting, despite formal notice from the CLC office, NITES President Harpreet Saluja said in a statement on Friday.

Some automakers are seeking to create an “arbitrary” weight-based category of small cars to get relief under the upcoming norms on corporate average fuel efficiency (CAFE), but such a criterion will conflict with the auto industry's progress and the government's policies that incentivise the production of safer vehicles, said Shailesh Chandra, managing director and chief executive officer, Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles and Tata Passenger Electric Mobility, on Friday.
