On 14 December, the Supreme Court permitted Britain's Vodafone to start second arbitration process under an India-UK investment pact over New Delhi's tax demand for more than $2 billion.
As a matter of fact, the deal was made a decade ago. Vodafone, the world's second-largest mobile operator, entered India in 2007 by acquiring Hutchison Whampoa's wireless assets. It is contesting a tax bill of more than $2 billion relating to that acquisition.
Vodafone has already initiated an arbitration process under India's investment pact with the Netherlands.
