Oil and gas Legal

India is seeking over $30 billion in compensation from Reliance Industries and BP in an arbitration case. The dispute, ongoing since 2016, centers on alleged underproduction of natural gas from the D1 and D3 deepwater fields in the KG-D6 block of the India — Krishna Godavari Basin. India claims that mismanagement by Reliance Industries and BP led to the loss of most of the reserves, alleging that Reliance Industries used 'unduly aggressive' production methods with fewer wells than planned, damaging the reservoir. Reliance Industries and BP dispute these claims, arguing they owe nothing to India. The tribunal's verdict is expected in mid-2026 and can be challenged in Indian courts. This claim is the largest ever pursued by India against a corporation.
