The UK Court of Appeal rejected India's challenge to arbitration concerning the Andhra Pradesh Bauxite Project. This project involved an agreement made in 2007 between the then Andhra Pradesh government and the Government of Ras Al Khaimah in the Middle East for bauxite supply. The project was located in the Visakhapatnam district of Andhra Pradesh.

The ruling suggests that the Centre should review its bilateral investment treaties with other countries and its current mineral development policy. The project was criticized for proceeding without respecting local tribal communities' protests or mandated consultation under PESA and the Forest Rights Act.
