PSUs could let 20% work remotely—starting with one day
The power ministry has advised its public sector undertakings to test a modern work arrangement: allowing employees to work from home for one day each week. The guidance asks PSUs to assess operational feasibility and, where possible, permit up to 20% of staff to work remotely on any given day. The move aligns with wider reassessments of hybrid work after pandemic-era changes, including new pressures from the Iran conflict’s economic fallout.
