Two Indian firms, Kaveri Traders and Narmada Exports, agree to let a neutral person hear both sides and give a decision that is binding on them. Which method of dispute resolution is this?

This is arbitration. A neutral third person hears both parties and gives a decision, called an award, that binds them. Mediation and conciliation only assist the parties in settling by themselves, and negotiation involves no third party at all.
