Wipro Ltd, India's No.3 software exporter, said on Friday that it would challenge a lawsuit filed by National Grid US seeking damages of over $140 million related to a project that dates back to 2009.

The lawsuit was filed by the American unit of British electricity and gas utility major National Grid PLC in a New York court, Wipro said.

Wipro said the lawsuit is related to an enterprise resource planning (ERP) implementation project.

The company said it joined the project in 2010, and that is was completed in 2014. Wipro also added, "the allegations misstate facts and the claims are baseless. We will vigorously contest gthe allegations in court."
