Bombay HC Upholds MMOPL Arbitral Award Partially; MMOPL to Receive ₹516 Crore + Interest
Bombay High Court partially upheld the arbitral award in favor of MMOPL, a Reliance Infrastructure joint venture. MMOPL is expected to receive an estimated ₹516 crore plus interest after 8 weeks, subject to reconciliation. MMOPL is reviewing the judgment for further action.
The partial upholding of the award and the potential receipt of ₹516 crore plus interest could have a material financial impact on Reliance Infrastructure, although the exact implications depend on the final reconciliation and the company's overall financial health.
The court's decision partially upholds the award, which is a mixed outcome. While a significant amount is to be received, the partial upholding and subsequent reconciliation process introduce uncertainty, preventing a clearly positive sentiment.
Reliance Infrastructure Limited (RELINFRA) has announced an update regarding the Section 34 Petition filed by Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) challenging an arbitral award in favor of Mumbai Metro One Private Limited (MMOPL). MMOPL is a joint venture where Reliance Infrastructure holds a 74% stake and MMRDA holds 26%.
The Hon’ble Bombay High Court, in its judgment dated February 24, 2026, has partially upheld the arbitral award, which was originally dated August 29, 2023, and corrected on February 26, 2024.
As per the judgment, after computation, the amount payable to MMOPL will be released from the funds deposited by MMRDA with the High Court after a period of 8 weeks. Subject to reconciliation, the estimated amount expected to be received by MMOPL is ₹516 crore, plus applicable interest from August 29, 2023. MMOPL is currently undertaking a detailed review of the judgment and will decide on further legal steps.
