Here’s the full text of the agreement signed by the government and the Dalmia Bharat group.
Even as opposition and public outcry continue over the government’s decision to lease out the Red Fort to the Dalmia Bharat Group, a fine reading of the agreement makes it clear that the deal doesn’t permit any “profit-making”.

The full agreement for the maintenance of the Red Fort is given below and the important sections have been highlighted.
