Bombay High Court Approves Revival and Redevelopment of Swadeshi Mills Land
The Bombay High Court has approved the revival of Swadeshi Mills Company Ltd, overturning a previous order to wind up the company. The decision supports a redevelopment plan for the mill's 48-acre Chunabhatti land, backed by majority shareholders Grand View Estates and Forbes Co, along with the Rashtriya Mill Mazdoor Sangh. The plan includes a Rs223 crore settlement for 2,834 former workers, housing provisions for families on the land, and aims to address long-standing worker losses while facilitating land development.
