In addition, the company will also receive 640,000 sq ft of constructed space free of cost in the project over a defined period of time.

Bata India still retains the legal title over the 230-odd acres land at Batanagar where the project is coming up and shares in RDPL. While retaining the legal title over the land at Batanagar Project and shares in the Joint Venture company, Riverbank Developers Private Limited (RDPL).

The release said to ensure an efficient implementation and subsequent management of the township development, BIL has decided to concentrate on its core business. “BIL has restructured its existing agreements to ensure that not only does the development of the project proceed with due urgency, in the process BIL also manages to derisk itself by focusing on its core business of manufacturing and selling footwear and accessories,” the release added.
