I don\'t know much about windows .bat file syntax. My simple requirement is to create a folder at a specific location with name as current date. I tried searching this on go

Try this (an equivalent of bash backquotes):

for /f "tokens=1* delims=" %%a in ('date /T') do set datestr=%%a
mkdir %datestr%
