Ashwin,
Please check with the labor office of your state to determine if they have set a minimum wage for employment in Electrical equipment or Electronics. If so, that will be applicable to you. If not, seek clarification from the labor office.

Dear Ashwin ji,
Manufacturing of electrical equipment or electronic items is not a scheduled industry under the MMW Rules 1948. Therefore, your manufacturing unit will fall under the residuary category.
What I believe is that you are in manufacturing and not in engineering, i.e., not in designing, building, or maintaining any structure, machine, device, etc., by applying scientific technology.
If you are in the Electronic Exports Processing Zone, then you are in the scheduled industry of SEEPZ.

Dear Ashwin ji, To add further, if you are in installation / erection or commissioning of transformers, then to you Engineering rates will be applicable.

I think the rates for the engineering industry will apply to any unit that is making machines of some type. However, this does not hold true. For example, all automobile companies pay engineering company rates, not manufacturing rates. Unfortunately, no definition is provided, so it depends on how you wish to interpret it (and how the same is looked up by the labor officer). In general, it is better to take the higher rate (the difference being small) to avoid any controversy.
