Asian Paints plans to end all disputes at their Mysuru paint plant by setting up an additional facility for any alternate product manufacturing on the same plot for the land sellers. Asian Paints is acting beyond the lines of the terms and conditions agreed upon initially. 

The company was in talks with the Government of Karnataka and had offered proposals regarding the employment of land sellers. The Government has now accepted the proposal and the land sellers have also given their nod for employment in a separate set up within the plot. The employment offered shall commensurate with the skill sets and qualifications of the land sellers. In addition to the above proposal, Asian Paints will provide training to the eligible land sellers for a period of six months along with a suitable stipend. The Karnataka Industrial Area Development Board (KIADB) has agreed to provide the final list of eligible land sellers to Asian Paints by 18th January 2021.
