The compensation covers the debt, equity invested in the project along with a return of 17% and also termination payments and legal costs. The compensation is net of taxes that GMIAL may be required to pay in the Maldives.

The Concession Agreement was wrongfully repudiated by the Government of Maldives and Maldives Airport Company Limited on 29th November 2012 alleging that the same was void abinitio. After detailed further proceedings, the tribunal has issued its final order whereby it has awarded compensation to GMIAL.
Earlier in June 2014, the arbitration tribunal had held that GoM and MACL had wrongfully repudiated the concession agreement of GMIAL and that they were jointly and severally liable in damages to GMIAL for loss caused.
