The Singapore International Arbitration Centre (SIAC) has awarded INR 23.7 Cr in damages to Amazon and INR 77 Cr for legal costs in the ongoing battle with Future Group.
SIAC ruled that Future Group breached contractual obligations towards Amazon when signing an agreement with Reliance Retail, leading to the tribunal finding in favor of Amazon.
Amazon sought over INR 1,436 Cr in damages for its investment in Future Coupons Pvt Ltd, but SIAC granted only INR 23.7 Cr in damages and 60% of legal costs incurred by Amazon.
The battle began with Amazon's stake purchase in Future Coupons aiming to indirectly access Future Retail; legal disputes ensued, and Reliance's takeover deal with Future Retail was eventually cancelled in April 2022.
