India's Toll Road Operators Favor Arbitration Of COVID-19 Loss Claims
The Financial Express reports, “Most of [India’s] 162 build-operate-transfer (toll) concessionaires, including private equity players, have decided to take the arbitration route to recover around Rs 650 crore [approximately US$86 million] as interest and operation and maintenance (O&M) costs from the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) for the 25-day [COVID-19 epidemic] toll collection suspension period. Sources said the concessionaires are upset with the NHAI for not declaring the toll collection suspension period . . . as a force majeure political event, and thus rescuing itself from compensating the loss to concessionaires on the O&M and interest costs.”
