IDDRC delivers secure, neutral, and technology-enabled arbitration and mediation — anchored in the governance of India's Institution of National Importance.
The International Digital Dispute Resolution Centre (IDDRC) is a specialised initiative of the National Forensic Sciences University — the world's only university exclusively dedicated to forensic sciences and allied disciplines, established as an Institution of National Importance by an Act of Parliament in 2020.
IDDRC operates as a fully administered institution with a professional Secretariat, formally notified Rules, and a curated panel — offering procedural certainty, neutrality, and technological security for domestic and international disputes.
Unlike ad hoc arbitration, IDDRC's institutional model provides structured oversight, defined timelines, and administrative support — reducing uncertainty and delays.
A Board of Governors and Directorate provide policy coherence, independence, and procedural integrity throughout all proceedings.
Electronic filings, virtual hearings, secure document management, and digital awards — built for the modern global economy.
Equipped to administer domestic and cross-border disputes across jurisdictions, sectors, and legal systems.
Strict confidentiality safeguards embedded in the Rules, with institutional oversight at every stage ensuring party confidence.
IDDRC administers a full spectrum of alternative dispute resolution services under formally notified Rules — from standard institutional arbitration to emergency interim relief.
Full-service arbitration under IDDRC Arbitration Rules 2026 — structured, administered, and digital from commencement to award.
Structured facilitative and evaluative mediation — standalone or integrated within arbitral proceedings for consensual resolution.
Rapid interim relief for urgent commercial situations — before the main arbitral tribunal is constituted.
Accelerated arbitration with shortened procedural timelines — ideal for straightforward disputes requiring efficient resolution.
Anchored in NFSU — India's Institution of National Importance under the Ministry of Home Affairs.
