Supreme Court Dismisses Centre's Appeal, Allows Enforcement of Vedanta Arbitration Awards
The Supreme Court dismissed the Union government's appeal against a Delhi High Court order allowing Vedanta Ltd and Ravva Oil (Singapore) to enforce foreign arbitral awards worth nearly 99 million related to a 1994 production-sharing contract for the Ravva oilfield. The Court criticized the Centre for prolonging litigation, warning that such resistance undermines confidence in India's arbitration regime and its ambition to be a global arbitration hub. The awards, upheld by foreign courts, faced delays due to government objections, which the Supreme Court found unjustified.
