Sembcorp's Indian wind-power unit faces new counterclaim

This brings the total counterclaim amount to approximately $365.4m.

Sembcorp Industries (Sembcorp) announced that in the ongoing arbitration proceedings, Siemens Gamesa Renewable Power Private Limited has filed an additional claim against its indirect, wholly-owned Indian subsidiary, Green Infra Wind Energy Limited (GIWEL), increasing the total counterclaim against the subsidiary.

In a statement, Sembcorp said the vendor has been allowed to amend its counterclaim to include an additional demand of approximately $47.5m on 17 May.

This brings the total counterclaim amount to approximately $365.4m.

GIWEL, after careful evaluation with legal advisors, maintains confidence in defending against this new claim.

“The arbitration is not expected to have any material adverse impact on GIWEL’s financial results, and no provisions have been made in relation to the arbitration,” the group said.

The Sembcorp management has also assessed the probability of the vendor's success in the additional counterclaim as remote.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
