Key Points
The war ended with the signing of the Treaty of Salbai on May 17, 1782.
This treaty was signed between the British East India Company (represented by Warren Hastings) and the Maratha Empire (through Mahadji Scindia).
Under this treaty, the British acknowledged Sawai Madhavrao as Peshwa, and the Marathas retained Salsette Island.
