Note: Where enforcement of a foreign arbitration award in India is likely to be required, it is important to be aware that, although India is a signatory to the New York Convention, the Indian courts will only enforce an arbitration award under the New York Convention if the jurisdiction that the award has come from is a contracting state that has also been notified in India's Official Gazette. In such circumstances it will therefore be important to check that the seat of arbitration has been so notified.
