India is currently reassessing its bilateral investment treaty (BIT) framework to enhance its appeal to foreign investors, particularly in light of escalating geopolitical tensions. Officials indicate that the government is contemplating reducing the mandatory five-year period for foreign investors to exhaust domestic legal remedies before seeking international arbitration, potentially mirroring the three-year requirement established in its 2024 investment agreement with the UAE. Additionally, the introduction of most-favoured nation (MFN) benefits is under consideration, which would extend any concessions offered to one investment partner to all existing partners. However, the government emphasizes the need for safeguards to prevent treaty abuse and protect its sovereign policy-making space. As India seeks to attract sustained foreign investments, it is negotiating BITs with over two dozen nations, including significant economies like the EU and the US. The review comes after a period of cautious treaty formation due to previous litigation experiences, including notable arbitration losses.
