PSP Projects Limited announced a favorable arbitral award on January 11, 2026, concluding its long-standing dispute with Bhiwandi Nizampur City Municipal Corporation (BNCMC). The tribunal directed BNCMC to pay ₹61.44 crore principal plus interest within 60 days, marking a significant recovery for the construction firm. This development, disclosed to BSE and NSE, bolsters PSP's financial position amid ongoing market volatility.
The arbitration stemmed from disputes over a construction contract for dwelling units under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana in Bhiwandi, initiated years ago amid project delays linked to COVID-19 and other issues. PSP Projects, listed on BSE (540544) and NSE (PSPPROJECT), positioned itself as claimant against BNCMC. The recent award resolves the matter decisively in the company's favor, enhancing liquidity without notable balance sheet strain, as per the filing signed by Company Secretary Pooja Dhruve on January 12, 2026.
