India's Ministry of Defence (MoD) extended the deadline for AgustaWestland to respond to its 'show cause' notice by 15 days on 11 November before it moves to cancel the EUR750 million (USD1 billion) contract for 12 AW101 helicopters. The MoD said the helicopter manufacturer will get no further extensions to respond to allegations that it broke the mandatory Integrity Pact by employing proscribed middlemen to secure the 2010 AW101 deal. It has also agreed to meet AgustaWestland executives on 20 November after several months of refusing all interaction with its representatives.
