The US has increased the H-1B visa fees, after which it was being said that this will affect the most Indian workers. At the same time, former CEO of NITI Aayog, Amitabh Kant said on Saturday (September 20, 2025) that US President Donald Trump’s H-1B visa fees will be damaged by America and it will prove beneficial for India.
He said that this step seems to be like closing the doors for global talents and will help create a wave of innovation, patent and startups in Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune and Gurugram.
What did Amitabh Kant say?

Amitabh Kant said in a post on X, ‘Donald Trump’s $ 1,00,000 million fee H-1B fee will stop US startups and will speed up India’s startups. Closing the door for global talents, the US is pushing the next wave of startups towards Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune and Gurugram. He further said, ‘India’s finest doctors, engineers, scientists and newmen have the opportunity to contribute to India’s development and progress in the direction of developed India. America’s loss will be beneficial for India.
The argument behind increasing H-1B visa fees
The Trump administration said that the $ 100,000 fee is to ensure that the people being brought to the country are really highly skilled and do not replace American workers. The H-1B visa is valid for three years and can be renewed for the next three years.
The US President also signed an executive order called ‘The Gold Card’, which aim to set up a new visa route for foreigners with extraordinary capacity who are committed to supporting America.
