In a groundbreaking resolution, the Outside Expert Committee (OEC) has awarded ₹42.1 million in favor of SEPC (formerly Shriram EPC Limited) in its dispute with Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL). This marks the first successful mediation for both companies through the alternate resolution mechanism. The OEC-led mediation demonstrates the effectiveness of this dispute resolution approach in the Indian corporate landscape. This outcome is expected to set a precedent for future corporate disagreements, potentially streamlining the resolution process and reducing the burden on the judicial system. The successful mediation highlights the growing importance of alternative dispute resolution methods in India's business environment.
