ABSTRACT
The blog underlines the growing importance of arbitration as a mechanism for dispute resolution among international parties. It elaborates upon the various economic and strategic advantages of emerging as an international arbitration hub. India aspires to be an international arbitration hub but the legislative framework currently in place does not entirely support its aspirations. The Arbitration and Conciliation Amendment Act, 2021 has created a subtle aversion amongst foreign investors due to increased government intervention in matters of dispute resolution. The blog also highlights various factors that contribute towards a nations goal to emerge as a ‘hub’ and how India has a long way ahead of itself to achieve its ambition.
