Defense Ministry gives final notice to Agusta on chopper deal

New Delhi: Moving ahead towards cancelling the controversial chopper deal, the Defence Ministry today said it has issued a final show cause notice to AgustaWestland for “violating” the terms of the Rs 3,600 crore contract



Asked about the arbitration process invoked by AgustaWestland, they said these proceedings are not applicable on the breach of pre-contract integrity pact of the Defence Ministry.

Last week, the company said it has invoked arbitration proceedings against the Defence Ministry for “unilaterally” freezing the deal.

The Law Ministry has also told the Defence Ministry that the arbitration proceedings initiated by AgustaWestland are also not binding on it.
