Dear Sir
Re: Circulation of false and defamatory allegations and insinuations against my Client.
My Client: Lux Industries Limited, having its office at Adventz Infinity, BN Block,
Sector-V, 17th Floor, Salt Lake City, Kolkata- 700 091.
Under instructions from and on behalf of my Client abovenamed, I hereby address you and state as
follows:
1. My client is one of India's leading and well-established companies in the hosiery, innerwear
and apparel industry, with a legacy dating back to 1957. My client is listed on the National
Stock Exchange of India Limited and BSE Limited and has around one lakh shareholders who
have reposed their trust and invested in the Company. Over more than six decades, the
Company has grown from its origins in the hosiery business into an enterprise with an annual
turnover of around Rs. 3,000 crores, a workforce of around 15,000 direct and indirect
employees, exports to more than 46 countries, and a production capacity exceeding 340
million garment pieces annually. Its portfolio includes several widely recognised brands,
supported by an extensive distribution and retail network across India and a growing
international presence.
2. My client presently operates several strategically located manufacturing facilities across India
with a strong foothold presence in West Bengal. Such substantial growth and expansion have
taken place under the aegis and leadership of Mr. Ashok Kumar Todi, Chairman of the
Company, under whose stewardship the Company has considerably expanded its
manufacturing capabilities, market presence and brand portfolio, while establishing itself as a
prominent and trusted name in the Indian hosiery and apparel industry.
3. Significantly, the scale and growth of my client have been accompanied by a strong emphasis
on corporate governance, regulatory compliance and responsible business practices, with the
Company conducting its affairs in accordance with applicable laws and regulatory
requirements and maintaining appropriate systems and processes commensurate with the
scale of its operations. The combination of experienced leadership, strong corporate
governance, extensive manufacturing and distribution infrastructure and enduring consumer
confidence has enabled my client to sustain and expand the reputation painstakingly built
over several decades and maintain its position as a prominent participant in the domestic and
international apparel market.

PIYUSH AGRAWAL
4. As part of its continuing expansion, my client announced increased manufacturing capacities
of Lux Cozi Group at Dankuni, West Bengal, at a total project cost of approximately Rs. 600
crores including land, building, plant and machinery and other movable and immovable assets.
The project envisages approximately 12 lakh square feet of additional manufacturing and
allied infrastructure and is expected to generate massive employment opportunities. The
"bhoomi-pujan" for the expansion project took place on 11 July 2026 at Dankuni ("Subject
Land") at a ceremony graced by Shri Suvendu Adhikari, Hon'ble Chief Minister of West Bengal,
as the Chief Guest, along with Shri Samik Bhattacharya, Member of Parliament (Rajya Sabha)
and West Bengal State President, BJP, Shri Tapas Roy, Hon'ble Minister, Department of
Industry, Commerce & Enterprises, Government of West Bengal, Sri. Arjun Singh, Hon'ble
Minister, Department of Labour and Transport, Government of West Bengal and Dr Sharadwat
Mukherjee, Hon'ble Minister, Department of Health and Family Welfare, Government of West
Bengal as Guests of Honour, in the presence of senior government officials, industry
representatives and the leadership of my client.
5. On 20 August 2026, my client came across a video uploaded on your YouTube channel
(@Kunalghoshspeaks) available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rn4uSkeLsYO,
containing a press conference addressed by you, wherein you made, inter alia, several false,
baseless, malicious and defamatory statements, allegations, insinuations and innuendos
concerning and/or directed against my client. Although such statements were sought to be
couched as questions posed to the public at large, their tone and tenor, along with the
insinuations and innuendos contained therein, make it abundantly clear that such purported
questions were calculated to disparage my client and cast doubt in the minds of the public,
including my client's stakeholders, regarding the genuineness and legitimacy of my client's
proposed project.
6. My client also came across a post published by you on your "X" (formerly known as "Twitter")
account on 20 August 2026, wherein you have again made such false, baseless and defamatory
statements, allegation
