Blue Star Wins Arbitration Case Against WJT; Claim Dismissed
Blue Star Limited has won an arbitration case against W.J. Towell & Co LLC (WJT), with the Arbitrator dismissing all claims. WJT has now approached the Dubai Court of Appeal seeking annulment of the Award, which Blue Star believes to be baseless.
The dismissal of a substantial claim (approx. ₹461.74 crores) is positive. However, the ongoing annulment proceedings in the Dubai Court of Appeal introduce some uncertainty, preventing a 'HIGH' impact assessment.
The company has won a significant arbitration case, with all claims against it dismissed by the Arbitrator. While an appeal has been filed, the company believes the grounds are baseless.
Blue Star Limited has provided an update on the arbitration proceedings initiated by W.J. Towell & Co LLC (WJT), an Omani entity, concerning a Shareholders’ Agreement dated October 1, 2015, for managing Blue Star Oman Electro Mechanical Company. Previously, on July 23, 2026, the company had informed that the Arbitrator had issued an Award in favor of Blue Star, dismissing all claims made by WJT.
WJT has now approached the Dubai Court of Appeal seeking an annulment of this Award. The company clarifies that annulment proceedings do not review the merits of the Award but are limited to specific grounds. Blue Star Limited will present its submissions before the Dubai Court of Appeal, asserting that the grounds for annulment raised by WJT are baseless. The company received the information regarding these annulment proceedings yesterday at 05:30 pm.
Previously, the arbitration proceedings initially involved a claim of OMR 103,18,000 (approximately ₹223.60 crores), which was later revised by WJT to OMR 2,11,80,748 (approximately ₹461.74 crores). The Arbitrator's Award, received on July 23, 2026, dismissed the entirety of WJT's claim. However, the Arbitrator has reserved the decision on interest and costs, which will be addressed in a further Award. The company believes the grounds for annulment are unfounded.
