The shares of Reliance Industries has fallen over 2 per cent on the news that arbitrator has stayed Future-RIL deal on Amazon complaint.
The arbitrator looking into the dispute between Amazon and Future group has put an interim stay on the latter's ₹25,000-crore deal with Reliance Retail. The former Attorney-General of Singapore, V.K. Rajah, was the arbitrator for the case.
In his order granting interim relief for Amazon, Rajah said it was prudent for an interim stay in the deal as it was "disputed".
