Documents seen by Indian Express showed that the Indian defense ministry had tweaked the requirements for a tender to buy 12 VVIP helicopters so that the AgustaWestland AW101 helicopter can compete.
In the first round of competition, the AW101 was rejected as it could not fly at 6,000 meters. India then modified the specifications to make the fly at least at 4,500 meters.
