In India, Tilaknagar Industries Ltd and ABD are involved in a trademark dispute over these brands. While Tilaknagar holds exclusive rights to sell these brands in India, ABD has been granted permission by the Bombay High Court to launch products under the same brand names, particularly in West Industries entered a pact with Herman Jensen (formerly UTO) nearly four decades ago and had claimed the latter ceded the rights of Mansion House brandy to rescue itself from a court action in Rotterdam in 1987. Under this arrangement, Jensen would retain Mansion House brand in whisky, which was a bigger business then. The Dutch side, however, argued that the arrangement was never legally solemnised and moved courts in 2008, when Mansion House brandy had emerged as a formidable brand in the Indian December 2011, a one-member bench of the Bombay HC held that Tilaknagar had the rights to Mansion House in India, but Herman Jensen went on to appeal before a division bench. In 2014, ABD bought a 50% stake in the two brands from Herman Jansen, giving ABD rights to produce and sell them in the country. In February this year, the Bombay HC dismissed Tilaknagar's plea and granted Allied Blenders permission to use the Mansion House brand name for some of its products in West Bengal.

Zara India posts weakest sales growth in FY25 amid rising market competition; net profit up 23%
Spain's Inditex, the owner of fashion brand Zara, saw its slowest ever sales growth in India, excluding the pandemic year, in FY25 as the world's largest fashion group faced rising competition from global rivals in the clothing market that is increasingly getting cluttered. Inditex Trent , its joint venture with Tata that runs 23 of Zara stores in India , saw revenue growth of less than a per cent to Rs 2,782 crore last fiscal, down from 8% growth a year ago, according to Trent's annual report. A year ago, it had sales of Rs 2771 crore. Net profit, however, was up at Rs 299 crore, a 23% increase. Zara has been a success since its arrival in the country more than a decade ago but after initially doubling sales every two years, the brand's rate of expansion had come down in the past few years. "FY25 was again a relatively challenging year for retail in India. Consumers faced multiple headwinds, including elevated inflation levels that impacted discretionary spends. Nevertheless, our brands continued to gain encouraging traction, including in several Tier 2 and Tier 3 geographies that we entered, " P Venkatesalu, chief executive officer at Trent, said in the report. Trent that runs Westside has shifted focus on its lower priced fast fashion brand Zudio, taking the total store count at 765 doors. Trent also has a separate association with the Inditex group to operate Massimo Dutti stores in India. The entity saw revenues fall slightly to Rs 100 crore in FY25, compared to Rs101 a year ago. Being the world's second most-populous country, India is an attractive market for apparel brands, especially with youngsters increasingly embracing western-style clothing. Most of Zara's back-end and merchandise sourcing are handled by Inditex, while the Tata expertise is mainly for identifying real estate and locations. "The said entities are obliged to source merchandise only from the Inditex Group. Also, the choice of product and related specifications are at the latter's discretion. Further, the entities are dependent on the Inditex Group for permissions to use the said brands in India subject to its terms and specifications. Including in the context of brand ownership and the arrangements for merchandise supply, the company views its related commitments as a financial investment," said the annual report. In its latest annual report earlier this year, the Spanish group said it holds a call option to buy a 35% stake in Inditex Trent Retail and 49% in Massimo Dutti India, the two local joint ventures, from Tata Group's Trent. 'The strike price is set on the basis of the non-controlling shareholder's share of the equity of the investee when the call option is exercised,' Inditex said in the report. It did not specify any timeframe for exercising the options. Inditex Trent has replicated in India a model that has worked for Zara globally—creating affordable, copycat versions of the latest fashions or designer wear and making them available to shoppers in double-quick time. Inditex controls almost every bit of its operations, from design to distribution. If a new style is not a hit within a week, it goes off the shelves of their stores worldwide. Trent also runs Trent Hypermarket, an equal joint venture between Tata and British retailer Tesco, which posted total sales of Rs 2,743 crore, an increase of 24%.

NSE gets Sebi nod to launch electricity derivatives
The National Stock Exchange of India (NSE) has received approval from the markets regulator to launch monthly electricity derivatives contracts, said the exchange in a filing. Plans are underway to gradually introduce contracts for difference (CFDs) and other long-duration electricity derivatives such as quarterly and annual contracts, subject to regulatory approvals, Ashishkumar Chauhan, NSE managind director (MD) and chief executive officer (CEO), said. The filing said that the launch of monthly electricity futures will provide market participants with effective hedging tools against electricity price volatility, enable more accurate price signals in the power sector, and encourage capital investments across the electricity value chain—generation, transmission, distribution, and retail. Electricity derivatives gain prominence as India's journey toward achieving its net-zero emissions target demands substantial investment, estimated at over $250 billion annually until 2047, according to a Niti Aayog report. 'By 2030, renewable energy sources such as solar and wind are expected to contribute over 50% of the nation's installed power capacity. A robust and dynamic electricity derivatives market is essential to attract this scale of climate finance from both domestic and global investors,' the release said. 'A calibrated and phased approach will ensure both market integrity and investor confidence. It is crucial for the spot and futures electricity markets to evolve in tandem to create a virtuous cycle of liquidity and stability. A financially settled futures market will allow participants to hedge their risks effectively, while a robust day-ahead spot market will ensure reliable price discovery,' Chauhan said. 'Our strong understanding of both spot and derivatives markets uniquely positions us to build an integrated and liquid electricity derivatives market,' NSE said in the release. Recently, the Multi Commodity Exchange of India (MCX) also received approval from the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) to launch electricity derivatives. MCX's shares had risen over 5% and reached a record high of ₹ 7,820 on the BSE after the exchange obtained regulatory clearance to introduce electricity derivatives on 9 June.
