ARBITRATION COUNCIL OF INDIA

• Arbitration Council of India (ACI) is a proposed seven-member statutory body under Part IA (Sections 43A–43M) of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, inserted via the 2019 Amendment Act.
• Mandated to grade arbitral institutions, accredit arbitrators, and promote India as a global arbitration hub.
• Not yet constituted despite enactment in 2019 — a key static-meets-current-affairs hook.
