The Indian state of Haryana recently passed a law mandating that 75% of the jobs in the private sector, which pay up to ₹50,000 per month, should be reserved for locals.
Andhra Pradesh was the first such state to attempt passing such a law in the face of rising unemployment numbers, but was challenged in the high court for being unconstitutional.
Karnataka has also passed several provisions, most recently in October 2020, asking the private sector to give preference to local candidates but doesn’t have a mechanism to ensure that companies are compliant.
