Tata Technologies to Hire More Locals in US Amidst H-1B Visa Scrutiny

Tata Technologies will expand local hiring in the United States following recent changes to H-1B visa regulations. The company’s CEO, Warren Harris, told Reuters, the new rules would lead to a larger share of U.S. nationals in its workforce. 

The U.S. government has proposed a steep hike in H-1B visa fees, a move that affects technology and engineering firms that employ foreign professionals.

Visa Fee Changes and Impact

The revised visa policy is part of the U.S. administration’s plans to reduce foreign competition in the job market. Indian nationals accounted for nearly 75% of all H-1B visa holders last year, according to official data. The higher fees are expected to increase costs for Indian engineering and IT service providers with large operations in the U.S.

Tata Technologies Background

Tata Technologies, based in Pune, offers engineering and product development services to the automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing sectors. The company operates in more than 24 countries and employs over 12,000 people worldwide. While it does not share country-wise figures, more than 70% of its workforce in key regions such as China, Sweden, the U.K., and the U.S. are local nationals.

Tata Technologies Financials and Clients

In FY2024-25, Tata Technologies reported total revenue of ₹51.68 billion, roughly $588 million. Around 20% of this came from North America. Its clients include Jaguar Land Rover, Boeing, and Vietnamese automaker VinFast. The company has not provided a detailed revenue or employee breakdown by country.

Current Market Conditions

Indian engineering service firms have seen some slowdown as U.S. tariffs and trade changes affect demand from automotive clients. Tata Technologies expects a gradual recovery as companies adjust to the new environment. It recently acquired Germany-based ES-Tec Group for €75 million ($87.47 million) to strengthen its engineering capacity.
