India in the WTO

More documents related to compliance violations by General Electric in Indian locomotive tenders

Posted in uncategorized by Seema Sapra on February 7, 2012

I will provide more detail about each of these documents, but I am uploading these here as well.

I received a response from the SEC on May 27, 2011. This can be read here.

I have among other complaints, also complained that General Electric employees tampered with a customer certificate issued by Kazakhstan Railways and submitted an unauthentic document to the Indian Railways on July 12, 2010 as part of GE’s request for qualification for an Indian Railways tender for manufacture, supply and servicing of 1000 locomotives. The details and documents can be found here. I told GE lawyers who investigated and eventually covered up the forgery about some crucial emails that I sent on July 10, 2010. These can be found here.

I have also complained that General Electric employees were in regular contact with some Indian Railways officials and often this contact crossed the lines of what was permissible and legal.  Pratyush (Prat) Kumar and Ramesh Mathur, GE executives were in regular contact with an Indian Railways official in the electrical division (Mr. Ved Mani Tiwari) who was looking after the Madhepura electric locomotive tender. Mr. Ved Mani Tiwari was clearly assisting and favouring General Electric during the tender process. This contact between GE executives and Mr. Ved Mani Tiwari amounted to corrupt and prohibited conduct under the tender. I am uploading here emails relevant to this complaint, please read

Prat Kumar’s email dated July 12, 2010, 

Prat Kumar’s emails dated May 17 and June 1, 2010,

and Ramesh Mathur’s email dated May 20, 2010.

I also complained that GE in 2010 had engaged the services of Mr. Vinod Sharma, a former Indian Railways official and advisor, and this was expressly prohibited by the tender documents and amounted to a corrupt practice that would disqualify and blacklist General Electric. Internal General Electric emails referring to Mr. Vinod Sharma can be read here.
