US embassy cable - 05NEWDELHI2599

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

SUBJECT: S35-04: INDIAN INVESTIGATION OF SANDHYA ORGANIC 
CHEMICALS, PVT. 
 
REF: STATE 221872 
 
Classified By: PolCouns Geoffrey Pyatt, for Reasons 1.4 (B, D) 
 
1.  (S) On March 25, MEA Under Secretary, Disarmament and 
International Security Affairs (DISA), Nutan Kapoor outlined 
for PolMilOff the status of the GOI investigation of Sandhya 
Organic Chemical's shipment of phosphorous oxychloride, a CW 
precursor, to Iran. 
 
2.  (S) According to Kapoor, Sandhya is a CWC Schedule 3 
facility and the export of phosphorous oxychloride is 
permissible under GOI law because Iran is a CWC state party. 
Any diversion by the Iranian end-user would come to light at 
the annual declarations of the Organization for the 
Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), Kapoor stated.  She 
requested that the USG provide further "persuasive 
information" about the end-user.
