flag India and Reliance face arbitration over $247M dispute on KG-D6 oil block profit recovery.

flag A long-running dispute between India's government and Reliance Industries over the KG-D6 oil block, centered on a $247 million claim for higher profits, is set to be resolved by early 2026 through international arbitration. flag The conflict arises from the government blocking Reliance’s recovery of development costs despite contractual agreements allowing full recovery before profit sharing. flag Reliance, along with partners bp and Niko, maintains it met all obligations, bore all financial risk, and developed the project rapidly despite geological challenges that reduced output. flag The company argues the government’s decision lacks precedent, especially since other KG basin projects underperforming similarly faced no such cost disallowances. flag The final arbitration ruling will determine whether Reliance must pay the claimed amount or recover its investments.
