India terminated its EUR750 million (USD764 million) contract with AgustaWestland for 12 AW101 helicopters on 1 January.
The long-anticipated cancellation of the VIP transport deal was announced after an extended meeting in New Delhi between Defence Minister A K Antony and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
The meeting followed the receipt of court documents from Italy, where the case is under investigation.
The Ministry of Defence (MoD) said in a statement that the AW101 contract had been "terminated with immediate effect ... on grounds of breach of the pre-contract Integrity Pact (PCIP)".
