On 27 June 2025, India firmly rejected a “supplemental award” issued by a Pakistan-backed Court of Arbitration under the 1960 Indus Waters Treaty, which claimed competence over its Kishenganga and Ratle hydropower projects in Jammu & Kashmir . The Ministry of External Affairs labeled the arbitration “illegal”, refusing to recognize the court’s jurisdiction and denouncing it as a “charade at Pakistan’s behest” . India also underscored that it has placed the Indus Waters Treaty in abeyance since April's Pahalgam terror attack and is no longer bound by its obligations until Pakistan credibly renounces support for cross-border terrorism.
