Carlsberg won an arbitration case brought by its joint venture partner in India after a dispute over the Danish brewer's business practices in the country. The Danish brewing group has for years been embroiled in a dispute which revolves around loan repayment from Carlsberg's JV partner in India, Nepal-based Khetan Group, which owns 33.3% of shares in the holding company in India and Nepal. For many years, Khetan Group's holding firm, CSAPL (Singapore) Holdings Pte Ltd, said that it had "consistently expressed grave concerns over suspected irregularities and illegalities" at the joint venture company's India business. The company therefore urged Carlsberg "to honor its obligations to improve governance and act in the long-term interests of the business".
