"According to our record, MACL has received $78 million as upfront fee for the concession till now, though it was supposed to have got $105 million."
The concession has different components of the amount the firm has to pay.
These are an upfront fee to the Maldives government-MACL combine, a fixed annual concession fee and share of fuel and non-fuel revenues.
GMR says it has already paid $111 million as concession fee in last two years.
