From Jane's:

India will re-tender the competition to upgrade 60 Indian Air Force S-125 Pechora (SA-3 'Goa) surface-to-air missile (SAM) system, writes David C Isby. Negotiations on the upgrades, intended to cost about US$150 million, had led to a competition between the Neva version, marketed by Poland's Centrex, and the Pechora-2M marketed by Russia's Rosobronexport. Both designs have been evaluated in India.
