Earlier in March, one appeal lawsuit in the very long running dispute – since 2011 – between Devas and Antrix over a S-band satellite capacity spectrum contract that Devas had with the Indian government’s Space Department (represented by its then sales entity, Antrix) was dismissed. The relationship between Devas and Antrix had been mutually beneficial […]
The Delhi High Court firmly denied the granting of a $562.2 million (€562.2m) arbitration award – plus damages and interest – to Devas Multimedia. The Court, ruling on August 29th, said the claim suffered from “patent illegalities and fraud”. Most importantly, the Court said the award was in conflict with the public policy of India. […]
Devas Multimedia has been awarded a tiny – but perhaps morally valuable – pay-out from an old obligation and legal actions. Devas says it has “seized” $87,457.47 due to it from Intelsat. Devas has been fighting in assorted courts to access cash awarded to it by numerous courts in its extremely long-running action against India’s […]
Devas Multimedia won a $1.2 billion (€1.17bn) arbitration award in 2015, confirmed by a US Federal Court back in October 2020.

Devas Multimedia, which signed a capacity deal with ISRO’s Antrix division, and despite having allegations of fraud set against Devas and certain ISRO employees, has now issued […]
Last week Devas Multimedia was ordered by India’s Supreme Court to be wound up. Devas is, however, determined to use the positive backing of various non-Indian courts and tribunals to be justified in pursuing its $1.2 billion (€1.06bn) compensation claim against Antrix, the former subsidiary of India Space Research Organisation (ISRO). Matthew McGill, a partner […]
The long-running and hugely expensive legal action between Devas Multimedia and the Antrix commercial arm of the Indian State Research Organisation (ISRO) has seen a ruling from India’s Supreme Court.

Devas Multimedia, in its very long-running dispute with India’s Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and its commercial arm Antrix, has won approval on January 3rd to target assets held in Virginia and to enforce a previous arbitration award.
