MMRDA deposits Rs 560.21 crore complying with SC order in Mumbai Metro 1 arbitration case
Reliance Infrastructure, which owns 74 per cent of MMOPL, confirmed the development in a regulatory filing on Tuesday. The remaining 26 per cent is owned by MMRDA.
'This follows our previous disclosure dated June 10, 2025, with regard to the arbitration award in favour of MMOPL. The Hon'ble Supreme Court ordered MMRDA to pay 50 per cent of the award amount, and as required, MMRDA has paid ₹560.21 crore to the Registry of the BHC,' Reliance Infrastructure said in a statement.
The Bombay High Court had on June 10 ordered MMRDA to pay the entire Rs 1,169 crore arbitration award with interest up to May 31, 2025, into court registry by July 15. MMRDA had moved a Special Leave Petition in the Supreme Court, which had altered the High Court's order and permitted part payment until further orders.
The award of arbitration arises out of a dispute since long between MMOPL and MMRDA over the cost and schedule of the Versova-Andheri-Ghatkopar Metro Line 1 project. The project agreement, signed in 2007, provided for all aspects of implementation, including operation, engineering and design.
The project was delayed by more than two years and MMOPL asserted the overall project cost increased from Rs 2,356 crore to Rs 4,321 crore. MMRDA contradicted this cost escalation. The issue went to arbitration and the tribunal ruled in MMOPL's favour.
The recent payment of Rs 560.21 crore confirms partial compliance with the tribunal's award, while the ultimate outcome awaits further court verdicts.
Bombay High Court and Supreme Court hearings are still in progress.

IIM Raipur, NIT Raipur to receive Rs 172 crore from Motilal Oswal Foundation
The Indian Institute of Management Raipur (IIM Raipur) and the National Institute of Technology Raipur (NIT Raipur) will be getting Rs 172 crore from Motilal Oswal Foundation (MOF). The Foundation has committed Rs 101 crore to IIM Raipur and Rs 71 crore to NIT Raipur. This initiative is initiated by Raamdeo Agrawal, chairman and co-founder of Motilal Oswal Financial Services and trustee of Motilal Oswal Foundation. The support to IIM Raipur will enable the construction of the Agrawal Oswal Student Residence, a 202-room hostel, and the Dau Ram Gopal Agrawal Knowledge Centre, an academic block named in memory of Agrawal's late father. These additions are part of the institute's expansion and will help increase the institute's capacity from 500 to 1,200 students by 2030. The funding will also facilitate the launch of six international two-year dual degree MBA programmes in collaboration with universities from the USA, UK, France, and Germany, enabling global education and preparing students from India for international careers. It will help position IIM Raipur as an eminent institution in the top league, an official statement issued in this regard said. At NIT Raipur, the Foundation is helping to establish the Mithilesh Agrawal Centre of Excellence for Innovation and Entrepreneurship in Engineering and Technology (MACIEET), named after Agrawal's late mother. This initiative is being carried out in collaboration with NIT Raipur and the Government of Chhattisgarh. The centre will feature advanced laboratories focusing on AI, Robotics, Blockchain, IoT, and Clean Energy, along with facilities for prototyping, start-up incubation, and skill development. Its goal is to train over 10,000 young people, incubate over 250 start-ups, and generate 5,000 skilled jobs by 2030, aligning closely with the state's key industrial sectors such as mining, iron, and steel. This will make NIT Raipur a centre of innovation, the statement added. Construction is scheduled to start in the financial year 2025-26, with both projects expected to be operational by 2027-28.
