India is seeking over $30 billion in compensation from Reliance Industries and BP over alleged mismanagement of the KG-D6 gas fields, leading to underproduction. An international arbitration tribunal has been hearing the dispute since 2016, with final arguments concluding on November 7. A verdict is anticipated in mid-2026, though it may be subject to appeal in Indian courts. The government claims the companies failed to produce promised gas output, while Reliance and BP dispute these allegations, which stem from the D1 and D3 deepwater fields' technical and cost-recovery issues.
