EXPANSION AND MODERNISATION OF THE PLANT AT JEJURI

 

To keep pace with the growing economy, WMI felt that there is a need to add additional modern machines and carry out the expansion of their Plant at Jejuri. Keeping these objectives in mind and to raise additional funds, an Agreement of Sale of Land at Bhandup was entered into between WMI and Ashford Estates on 7th June, 2005. WMI received the advance payment of Rs. 10.80 Crores from Ashford. The most important Pre-conditions of the Sale of Land was that the Union will negotiate the terms of VRS with the Workmen and also those Workmen who need a Job should be

willing to go to their Plant at Jejuri.

Union in the Company is bargaining representative on behalf of the workers to discuss terms and conditions, salaries, allowances, benefits etc. whereas the Union have no right to negotiate the terms of VRS on behalf of the Workmen, and the Workmen expressed their firm desire on holding on to their jobs instead of accepting one time monetary gains. The confirmation letters that Workmen do not wish to accept VRS has been received by them from the Union. The development on these matters along with supporting documents was submitted to Ashford immediately. Also other difficulties in complying with other Pre-conditions of the Agreement has been explained to the potential buyer.

Ashford Estates after receiving their detailed documents realized that they have genuine reasons of not complying with Pre-conditions of the Agreement.

 

Ashford Estates wanted to make sure that this Property is not sold to third Party without their knowledge and without getting advance payment back, and from this angle, they have filed a Suit in the High Court of Mumbai.

After filing the Suit, they had cordial meetings with Ashford Estates and they have given them the proposal of receiving the advance payment back along with the interest charges and some amount of compensation. The negotiations are active with the Ashford Estates and they hope to arrive at an amicable settlement in a short time.
