Arbitration Intelligence India is a regular short video update on developments in domestic and international arbitration in India for clients and associates of the firm who are interested in arbitration.

In this short video our dispute resolution partner Ravitej Chilumuri discusses "A new way for Indians to arbitrate" through in a case study of the recent Indian Supreme Court decision in PASL Wind Solutions v GE Power. This is an important decision because the Court decided that parties to an Indian dispute can chose a foreign seat of arbitration. This decision will be of particular interest to foreign corporations with subsidiaries in India and Indian parties dealing with those companies.

Assessing The Viability Of An Appellate Arbitral Tribunal In India

The proposal to introduce an Appellate Arbitral Tribunal (AAT) into India’s arbitration architecture, most prominently reflected in the Draft Arbitration & Conciliation (Amendment) Bill, 2024, has rekindled debate over the proper balance between party autonomy, finality, institutional quality, and judicial supervision. Proponents portray an AAT as an institutional innovation that would enhance the quality of awards, promote consistency, and reduce the burden on courts. Critics warn that an appellate layer risks destroying arbitration’s comparative advantage by permitting merits review, increasing costs and delay, and departing from the international norm of limited judicial interference.

No Appeal Beyond Section 37: Bombay High Court Holds That The Commercial Courts Act Cannot Provide An Alternative Appellate Route To Challenge An Order Recording Satisfaction Of An Arbitral Award In Execution Proceedings

The Hon’ble Bombay High Court (“High Court”) in its judgment dated 20.07.2026 in Reliance Asset Reconstruction Co. Ltd. vs. Hiroo Hotchand Advani (Commercial Appeal (L) Nos. 14725 and 15441 of 2026), provided much needed clarity on a pertinent issue, being, whether a party aggrieved by an executing court's order in arbitration proceedings can appeal that order under the Commercial Courts Act, 2015 (“CCA”), or whether the right of appeal depends on the order fitting within the narrow categories carved out under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 (“Arbitration Act”).

Harmonizing Indian Arbitration With Global Standards: The Role Of The Redfern Schedule In Efficient Document Disclosure

Document production in arbitration has traditionally been a contentious and resource-intensive phase, particularly in complex international commercial disputes. As arbitration solidifies its role as the preferred mechanism for resolving cross-border disputes, the imperative for efficient, transparent, and predictable disclosure procedures has become increasingly evident. In the Indian context, the arbitral landscape has undergone significant reform in recent years, with the enactment and amendment of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 19961, seeking to align domestic practices with internationally recognized standards.

Arbitration Awards On The Clock: Legal And Practical Implications Of Delayed Awards

Arbitration has long been heralded as the faster, more flexible alternative to litigation. Parties choose it to avoid the procedural labyrinths and backlog of national courts, expecting a swift resolution delivered by subject-matter experts. Yet in practice, arbitration often fails to live up to this promise. Tribunals may take months, or even years, after the close of hearings to deliver their awards.

Khan Market's Fire NOC Dispute: How The Delhi High Court Balanced Safety And Structural Limits

Behind Khan Market’s busy cafés and restaurants lies a less visible problem: many of the market’s older buildings were never designed to meet modern fire-safety standards. Several restaurants operate from the first and second floors, which are reached through narrow staircases and, in some cases, only one practical entry and exit route. This structural limitation became a legal issue when the New Delhi Municipal Council (“NDMC”) linked the renewal of restaurant permissions to obtaining a fire no-objection certificate (“Fire NOC”).

Taxability Of Corporate Guarantees Under GST Laws: Analysis Of The Recent Gujarat High Court Decision In Torrent Power Ltd. v Union Of India

The issue of taxability of corporate guarantees issued by a holding company to a financial institution for the benefit of its subsidiary company emerged as one of the most contentious issues in the Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime pursuant to the introduction of the levy in 2023. The controversy centers on a fundamental question: when a holding company furnishes a corporate guarantee, without charging any fee from its subsidiary company, to a bank to enable its subsidiary to secure credit facilities, does such activity constitute a taxable “supply of services” under the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017 (CGST Act)?
