Tenant not paying rent

Location - Kochi / Kerala I have a small commercial building, which is jointly owned by me and my Father In law. The ground floor of the Building has been rented to one super market since 2017, A MOU of 10 years was made and 11 month rental agreement is being made. We have the present rental contract until 31 JAN 2024. The tenant is giving rent late and on/off bi monthly. when we asked him he told his business is going down and cannot afford to pay the rent and wants reduction. We discussed the same but the rent he is asking is too low and suddenly he is also asking some amount for tile and glass work he did for running the super market. Now the discussion has failed and he has not paid rent for OCT and NOV 23. also he has asked us to go to court. Our contract is valid and in place. I want to know what further legal steps can i take to recover the rent and also evict him with the end of current contract by JAN 2024. I have deposit also with us. Please advise what should be the next steps.
