India is reviewing its Model Bilateral Investment Treaty (BIT), with consultations ongoing and revisions to multiple clauses under way, Economic Affairs Secretary Anuradha Thakur says. She states that the document is a work in progress and will be placed before the Cabinet soon for a decision.
Thakur adds that the review draws on India’s experience from past negotiations and on global practices. The reporting emphasizes that consultations are being held to refine the draft rather than presenting a final version, and that the Cabinet will consider the revised model once it is ready.
Across the two outlets, the central points are consistent: the Model BIT is under review, revisions include clause-level changes informed by negotiations and international norms, and a submission to the Cabinet is planned in the near term. Neither source provides details on specific new provisions or timelines beyond the expectation of a prompt Cabinet presentation.
