Bata India Limited has disclosed the resolution of a long-pending industrial dispute under Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The disclosure, made on May 8, 2026, pertains to the outcome of litigation before the Hon'ble First Labour Court, West Bengal at Calcutta, and was communicated to BSE Limited, National Stock Exchange of India Limited, and The Calcutta Stock Exchange Limited.

Background of the Industrial Dispute

The matter originated from an industrial dispute raised by certain workmen alleging illegal termination, which was referred for adjudication to the Industrial Tribunal in 2010. The Tribunal had earlier passed an Award, which was subsequently challenged by the company before the Hon'ble Calcutta High Court. The case has thus been pending across judicial and quasi-judicial forums for an extended period.

Settlement Terms and Court Order

The Hon'ble Calcutta High Court passed an order directing the payment of a one-time compensation of Rs. 1.5 lakh per workman in full and final settlement, in lieu of reinstatement and back wages. Upon the company's compliance with this order, the First Labour Court, West Bengal at Kolkata, passed an order for dismissal of the case. The key details of the settlement are presented below:

Compliance and Documentation

Bata India confirmed that it has complied with the High Court's order by making the requisite payments. The certified true copy of the order was collected by the company on May 8, 2026. The delay in collection was attributed to elections in the state of West Bengal.
