Reliance Industries, leading private sector enterprise, gained on Monday after the company, BP and NIKO issued a notice of arbitration on May 9, 2014 to the Government of India (GoI) seeking the implementation of the ''Domestic Natural Gas Pricing Guideline 2014'' notified on Jan. 10, 2014.
The continuing delay on part of the Government of India in notifying the price in accordance with the approved formula for the Gas to be sold has left the parties with no other option but to pursue this course of action. Without this clarity, the parties are unable to sanction planned investments of close to USD 4 billion this year.
