India stands at a critical juncture — with over 5 crore pending cases and justice often delayed beyond reason. The judicial system, though noble in spirit, is burdened with time, cost, and complexity. For many, justice has become a distant dream. Legal battles are not just about law anymore — they are about endurance, money, and access.
MAC is not just another arbitration forum — It is a purpose driven platform rooted in legal excellence, transparency, and national responsibility. We believe that no Indian — no matter how small their case or how limited their means are should not be denied justice. With Mumbai as our principal office, MAC offers a structured, legally aligned, and affordable path to resolution. Our methods are modern, our panel is eminent, and our mission is bold.
At the heart of Metro Arbitration Center (MAC) lies a powerful and transformative vision: To bring justice to the doorstep of every Indian — not just the privileged, not just the corporate elite — but the common man.
We aspire to become India's most trusted arbitration institution, bridging the gap between people and the courts, easy to navigate even for first time users

Align with Indian Judiciary
By working alongside the Indian courts and legal ecosystem, MAC ensures that arbitration remains enforceable, recognized, and respected. Just not as an alternative, but MAC will act as a parallel force of justice.
Reach the Last Man
Our mission is rooted in Gandhian principles: " True justice is when the last man is heard ". MAC will ensure justice through affordable fee structures, regional outreach and simplied procedures.
MAC believes in "Justice delayed is Justice denied" Justice should not only be done It must be seen to be done. Accordingly every rule we make, every arbitrator we appoint and every process we simply is designed with the aim that Justice reaches to all.
MAC is more than an arbitration center. MAC works towords a better legal future, a parallel trade of Justice that is fast, fair, affordable and national in scale. MAC stands apart, it is an institution of trust, efficiency and dignity in legal resolution. With Mumbai as our principle office we envision MAC as a national model that inspires change across the country eventually becoming a forum just not for domestic arbitration but also resolving international commercial arbitration.
