NEW DELHI (PTI): A more than six year-old tender of the Indian Navy to procure multirole helicopters would be further delayed as the two participating vendors in the deal have been asked to extend the validity of their proposals for six more months.

Defence ministry sources confirmed the development but refused to elaborate.
