The Bajaj brothers on Thursday announced that they had reached an amicable settlement on December 21, bringing to an end the six-year dispute over the division of the family’s business empire.

According to the agreement, the Rahul Bajaj-led group, comprising Rahul, Shekhar, Madhur and Niraj, would exit Bajaj Hindusthan and Bajaj Consumer Care, which will be with the Shishir Bajaj (SKB).

All other companies in the original Bajaj Group, including Bajaj Auto Ltd, Bajaj Electricals, Mukund Ltd, Bajaj Finserv, Bajaj Holding and Investments Ltd, and Hercules Hoist Ltd, will be with the Rahul Bajaj-led group.

The Bajaj family feud first hit headlines in 2002, with Shishir accusing elder brother Rahul of trying to oust him from the chairmanship of Bajaj Sevashram, one of the group holding companies.

The police said that Kumar, a resident of Turbhe MIDC in Navi Mumbai, was driving his concrete mixer truck when it collided with an SUV.
