The strike, backed by the Centre of Indian Trade Unions (Citu), was the biggest such dispute in the country in recent years and cast a shadow over Prime Minister Narendra Modi's drive to draw investors to set up local manufacturing.

Samsung India in a statement on Oct 15 said it welcomed the decision by Citu to call off the strike at the plant, which employs about 1,800 workers and makes refrigerators, TVs and washing machines.

The company did not disclose the terms of the settlement.
