BK International to sue Specialty Hospital contractor for $400m

BK International today said that it will move to the courts in India to sue Surendra Engineering Corporation Limited for $400M over works done on the Specialty Hospital site, Turkeyen.

The move by BK follows a decision by the Commercial court here to lift an interim injunction restraining a Surendra official from leaving the country until payment is made.

The specialty hospital contract has been mired in a series of controversies. The project is now apparently stalled because of concerns in India over how the selection of the contractor by the local procurement board was made.
