Arbitral Award Details
The Arbitral Tribunal, which was constituted pursuant to an order from the Hon'ble High Court of Telangana dated November 22, 2024, passed its award on March 2, 2026. The tribunal's decision was comprehensive and unfavorable to Olectra Greentech on multiple fronts.

| Beneficiary: | M.L.R. Motors Limited |
The award specifically disallowed Olectra Greentech's claim for recovery of the capital advance of Rs 10.00 crore that had been made to M.L.R. Motors Limited. This advance was subsequently converted into equity shares of M.L.R. Motors Limited, adding complexity to the dispute.
Financial Implications
Beyond the loss of the primary claim, the Tribunal directed Olectra Greentech to reimburse Rs 5,00,000 towards the cost of arbitration and legal expenses incurred by M.L.R. Motors Limited.
