Future Retail must take part in arbitration over a commercial dispute with Amazon, a Singapore arbitration panel ruled on Wednesday, rejecting the Indian retailer’s bid to avoid the process.
Amazon is trying to block Future’s $3.4 billion sale of its retail assets to Reliance Industries, accusing it of breaking contracts. Future denies any wrongdoing.
After the arbitrator put the deal on hold last year in an interim decision, Future argued it should be excluded from arbitration because Amazon had initiated it incorrectly under a contract it signed with another Future group firm.

The U.S. President’s economic and tariff policies and measures to secure his country’s borders may seem justified in terms of promoting his nation’s interests but have wider ramifications not only for Americans themselves, but also for the rest of the world. His tariff proposals will result in supply chain disruptions, lead to market and currency volatility, disrupt capital and trade flows, contribute to inflation and cause a decline in world trade and economic growth, worsening the plight of the poor, especially in developing economies.
