Karnataka में छोटा बिज़नेस शुरू करना (2026): लागत, मज़दूरी, किराया, लाइसेंस
Karnataka splits into two economies: Bengaluru, a high-wage, high-rent, near-cashless tech metro where quick commerce competes hard with kiranas, and a much cheaper, agrarian rest of state. The big 2026 difference is labour cost: the 22–25 May 2026 notification raised scheduled minimum wages by up to 60% (about ₹23,376/month for an unskilled worker in Bengaluru), the highest legal floor in South India, though employers are challenging it and the government has paused revision for its own departments. Shops must also put 60% Kannada on nameboards to renew trade licences, power carries two 2026-27 surcharges, and petrol is about ₹111 because of state VAT plus the 2026 oil shock.
