Bus services in Mumbai are set to resume after unions representing employees of the Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST) called off an indefinite strike.
The decision follows successful negotiations with Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, bringing an end to a disruption that had halted public transport across the city.
The strike, which began on Saturday, was driven by various employee demands.
The resolution marks a de-escalation of labor tensions in one of India's most critical economic centers, where reliable public transit is essential for daily commercial activity.
While the immediate impact is operational rather than financial, the restoration of services removes a source of uncertainty for local businesses and commuters.
The deal underscores the role of state-level political intervention in resolving public-sector labor disputes in India.
