Anil Ambani's Reliance Infrastructure has won a crucial four-year battle for control of money from an arbitration award worth over Rs 4,600 crore.

The Supreme Court on Thursday upheld the 2017 arbitration award in favor of Anil Ambani’s unit. The arbitration tribunal award is worth over Rs 4,600 crore including interest, according to Reliance Infrastructure’s annual report.
