摘要：Dispute review boards (DRBs) have grown in popularity as a permanent impartial alternative dispute resolution (ADR) mechanism since its first successful deployment in 1975, and have been used on a number of high-profile construction projects in the United States and across the world. The purpose of this study is to present a review of the DRB mechanism in the Indian Construction industry primarily focusing on the Public Sector Organizations. The study focuses on DRB cases in 28 such instances where recommendations were made by the members of the Dispute review board. It was found that 92% of the claims raised before the DRB in the 10 cases pertaining to the Airports Authority of India (AAI) were awarded in favor of the AAI and 60% claims raised before the DRB in cases pertaining to the National Highways Authority of India in 18 cases have been awarded in favor of the NHAI. An overall average duration of 239 days was observed between the First hearing to the final recommendations made by the DRB in the cases involving the AAI and an award of Rs. 5.24 Cr has been made in favor of the contractors by the subsequent Arbitration Tribunal (AT) as opposed to the awarded amount of Rs. 0.277 Cr by the DRB. In cases involving the NHAI, an award of Rs. 291.09 Cr. has been made by the subsequent „AT‟ as opposed to an award of Rs. 17.72 Cr. by the DRB.
