**Maggi v/s Maggisun: Delhi High Court Closes Trademark Suit After Nestle Settlement**
*By Akash Pandey | October 6, 2025*
The Delhi High Court has officially closed a trademark infringement case filed by Nestle S.A., the parent company of the popular “Maggi” brand, against Shankeshwar Utensils & Appliances Private Limited. The company was manufacturing utensils under the brand name “Maggisun,” which Nestle claimed infringed upon its trademark rights.
### Background of the Case
Nestle initiated the legal proceedings back in 2018. The FMCG giant, which acquired the Maggi brand in 1947, alleged that the use of the mark “Maggisun” by Shankeshwar Utensils violated its exclusive rights over the distinctive MAGGI trademark.
### Settlement and Court Approval
Justice Tejas Karia approved the settlement reached between the two parties. Under the agreement, Shankeshwar Utensils agreed to cease manufacturing and selling pressure cookers or any other products under the trademark “Maggisun” or any similar marks.
As part of the settlement, the defendant acknowledged Nestle as the rightful owner of the MAGGI trademark and accepted the validity of all its related trademark registrations.
### Compliance Measures by the Defendant
In addition to halting production and sales, Shankeshwar Utensils agreed to:
– Refrain from advertising “Maggisun,” “Maggi,” or any similar marks across all media platforms, including print, electronic, social media, and e-commerce.
– Destroy all existing products bearing the “Maggisun” mark or any similar trademarks.
– Cancel its trademark registration for “Maggisun.”
Nestle’s counsel confirmed that upon acceptance of this settlement by the court, all remaining claims in the lawsuit would be withdrawn.
### Impact on the Market
The court decreed the suit as per the settlement terms and directed both parties to adhere strictly to the agreement.
India stands as one of Nestle’s fastest-growing and largest markets for Maggi noodles, having sold six billion servings in the fiscal year 2023-24 alone. The company reports a robust high double-digit growth rate in the country, underscoring the brand’s sustained popularity and market penetration.
### Maggi’s Brand Resilience
Despite facing challenges, including a notable five-month ban imposed by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) in June 2015 over lead content concerns, Maggi continues to be a consumer favorite.
Nestle India has introduced over 140 new products in the past eight years and plans to invest INR 7,500 crore between 2020 and 2025 to further strengthen its operations and presence in the Indian market.
