Rights Groups Expose Harsh Conditions for Indian Workers in Saudi Arabia\u2019s Vision 2030 Projects
\n…………….<\/p>\n
Human rights organizations have raised serious concerns over the treatment of thousands of Indian workers employed in Saudi Arabia\u2019s renewable energy projects under the Vision 2030 initiative. According to a joint report by Amnesty International and India\u2019s Navayugam Cultural Forum, many laborers face exploitative conditions, including extremely low wages\u2014sometimes as little as $300 a month\u2014and long working hours in severe heat without adequate safety measures.<\/p>\n
The report states that passports are often confiscated and workers are restricted from leaving their job sites, practices that violate international labor standards. These abuses, it added, have persisted for years across the construction and energy sectors, where migrant labor is heavily relied upon for large-scale projects intended to boost the kingdom\u2019s global image.<\/p>\n
Citing a separate investigation by The Guardian published on October 6, 2025, the report also highlighted poor conditions at Amazon facilities in Saudi Arabia, where workers reportedly endure 12-hour shifts and live in overcrowded, unsanitary accommodations without fair compensation or grievance mechanisms.<\/p>\n
The rights groups urged Saudi authorities to enforce labor reforms promised under Vision 2030, hold companies accountable for abuses, and ensure migrant workers are treated with dignity in line with international human rights obligations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
