Top court dismisses Centre’s challenge in Vedanta award case
In short
India’s Supreme Court dismissed the Union government’s challenge to a Delhi High Court order in the Vedanta arbitration case. The order allows Vedanta Ltd. and Ravva Oil (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. to enforce foreign arbitration awards tied to claims of nearly $99 million.
This matters because it keeps the enforcement process alive for the companies. The report does not say when the awards were made or whether the money has been collected.
