Abstract
Bharat Aluminium Co. Ltd. v. Kaiser Aluminium Co. Ltd. is one of the most significant judgements on arbitration rendered by the Supreme Court of India. This paper primarily provides a descriptive comment on the developments leading to the decision in BALCO from the passing of the 1996 Act and briefly analyses the effect of BALCO on arbitration in India. The paper also addresses certain criticisms of the BALCO decision pertaining to its prospective applicability and non-availability of interim measures in foreign seated arbitration.
