Section 29A of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act 1996 was introduced to deal with delays in arbitration. It sets a time limit for making an award. If that time runs out, parties have to go to court to extend it. The court can also impose consequences for delay, such as reducing fees, awarding costs, or replacing the arbitrator.
