The Labour Bureau in India is responsible for compiling information on industrial disputes, closures, retrenchments, and lay-offs.

The Labour Bureau, an attached office of the Ministry of Labour and Employment, Government of India, is tasked with the collection, compilation, analysis, and dissemination of labour statistics, including those related to industrial relations such as disputes, strikes, lockouts, closures, retrenchments, and lay-offs.

– Central Statistics Office (now part of the National Statistical Office – NSO) primarily deals with macro-economic statistics like GDP, inflation, and industrial production surveys but not specifically detailed industrial dispute data.
– Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) is under the Ministry of Commerce and Industry and focuses on industrial policy, investment promotion, etc.
– National Technical Manpower Information System (NTMIS) is related to manpower planning and education, not industrial disputes.
