The Indian arbitration landscape is constantly shifting, with 2024 turning out to be an eventful year.  India has entered a new BIT with the UAE – one of its key trading partners – which diverges from the Indian Model BIT in several key areas.  It also began public consultation on the draft Arbitration and Conciliation (Amendment) Bill, 2024, which seeks to introduce a number of changes to the Indian Arbitration Act. During this discussion, the expert panel will discuss the impact of both developments.
