KG-D6 Oil Block Dispute: RIL and Indian Government Await 2026 Arbitration Verdict

A long-standing dispute between the Indian government and Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) over the KG-D6 oil block is nearing resolution, with a verdict expected in early 2026. The core of the disagreement is the government's claim for an additional USD 247 million in profit share, stemming from disallowed cost recovery for infrastructure development. RIL argues that under the NELP agreement, all investment costs must be recovered before profit sharing, and that all expenditures were approved by a joint management committee.
