Awfis Loses Arbitration, Faces ₹8.26 Crore Award Plus Interest
Awfis Space Solutions Limited received a final arbitration award against it, ordering payment of approximately ₹8.26 crore plus interest and costs to Ruby Infotech Private Limited. The company is evaluating options to challenge the award, with an estimated incremental cost impact not exceeding ₹6.3 crore.
The award of ₹8.26 crore plus interest and costs, with a potential net incremental cost impact of up to ₹6.3 crore, is a material financial event for the company, though it is evaluating legal recourse.
The company has received an unfavorable arbitration award which mandates a significant financial payout, negatively impacting its financial standing.
Awfis Space Solutions Limited announced on October 2, 2026, that it has been served with a Final Award in arbitration proceedings initiated by Ruby Infotech Private Limited. The dispute arose from the termination of a lease deed by Awfis due to infrastructural and safety issues with the leased premises during the lock-in period.
The arbitration, presided over by Justice S. Muralidhar (Retd.) at The Delhi International Arbitration Centre (DIAC), resulted in an award dated September 30, 2026, in favor of Ruby Infotech. The award determines an amount of approximately ₹8.26 crore, along with applicable interest and costs, against Awfis.
The company stated that while it had already written off fit-outs in its books, the total net incremental cost impact, including applicable interest, is not anticipated to exceed ₹6.3 crore if the award is conclusively determined against Awfis. Awfis, in consultation with its legal counsel, is evaluating available remedies to challenge the award, citing apparent discrepancies. Necessary actions will be taken in accordance with the law.
