I'm excited to share my latest Op-Ed, co-authored with Sriram Venkatavaradan and published in today's The Economic Times, examining the Central Government's new guidelines on arbitration and mediation in domestic public procurement contracts. These guidelines, which advise limiting arbitration clauses in large government contracts, represent a concerning shift in India's approach to dispute resolution. While the promotion of mediation is positive, the overall approach raises questions about India's commitment to efficient dispute resolution and its attractiveness as an investment destination.

My piece in the Indian Express on the latest Govt Memorandum and its impact on Indian arbitration. "In an office memorandum dated June 3, the government outlined new guidelines for arbitration …. related to domestic public procurement. ….(which) .. explicitly signals a shift away from arbitration for government undertakings. ….. This decision will have significant negative repercussions for private litigants, both individuals and companies, for India’s ranking in the “Ease of Doing Business” index, for Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), and for the legal system as a whole. This decision will put additional pressure on the already overburdened courts….. Curiously, at the heart of these amendments is the concern that matters are being resolved too quickly. The main objective of the 2015 amendments was to reduce the time taken in courts. It is baffling that the very reform that improved India’s “Ease of Doing Business” ranking would be reversed for being too successful!" https://lnkd.in/gqFS8Dc5 indianexpress.com #arbitration #disputeresolution
