Reasons for seeking extension: Due to introduction of MAT and DDT by Gol, Industries are reluctant to take up lands in SEZ, since their proposed project in SEZ are not viable when compared to DTA besides low demand due to general industrial recession. However, SIPCOT is taking effective steps to operate this SEZ through the interested entrepreneurs for setting up of their project.

The developer has also informed that they have developed all infrastructures like internal roads, water supply system, street lights and compound wall at a cost of Rs.36 cr along with TNEB substation.

DC has stated that as regards ongoing litigation, the developer has submitted the following :

For legal heirs of Mr.Kathiriappan, already a comprise was entered and alternate land was allotted. For balance land, enhanced compensation is to be given for which they filed a case, which will be resolved”.
¢ They further informed that OSR-4- Survey No. 60/3 falls at Bargur — DTA area and not in Bargur SEZ.

enhanced compensation is to be given for which they filed a case, which will be resolved”.

¢ They further informed that OSR-4- Survey No. 60/3 falls at Bargur — DTA area and not in Bargur SEZ.
- They have also stated that the litigation cases are against the Open Space area (OSR) and not in the allotment area. The litigation mainly relates to getting the enhanced compensation by exland owners. The areas of 12.19 acres of land for which cases have been filed, constitute only §% of total SEZ area of 235.98 acres (95.54 hectares).

Recommendations of DC, MEPZ:

The request for extension of formal approval of LoA for further period of four years w.e.f. 11.03.2022 to 10.03.2026 is recommended for consideration of BoA.

Detailed reasons for delay:

The project could not proceed as per its original schedule due to some unexpected delays in the construction work being done at their SEZ project. The reason behind is the delay/uncertainty in the supply chain of construction material, unavailability of skilled labour etc. due to the spread of Covid19. The spread of Covid-19 in the country, followed by nationwide lockdown followed by displaced labours in the work site which resulted in making the work come to a standstill. In addition to the above, Hyderabad received the highest record of rainfall submerging all the part of Puppalgada Village. Due to heavy rainfall, the rain water entered into the excavated project area and damaged some important construction materials. With the help of TSIIC, the management was able to de-water the premises by creating a separate channel for getting normal condition of the site which also resulted in the delay of the regular schedule of the project. As the general contractor SPCL could not be able to rise to the occasion, the Project Management was forced to change the contractor.

lso resulted in the delay of the regular schedule of the project. As the general contractor SPCL could not be able to rise to the occasion, the Project Management was forced to change the contractor. The Developer has also stated that significant progress has already been achieved in their SEZ by spending approximately an amount of Rs.65.06 cr (without land cost) for achieving built up area of 51,234.39 sq. Mtrs.

Recommendation by DC, VSEZ:

DC VSEZ has recommended the request of extension of LOA for a period upto 30.3.2023 in terms of Rule 6(2) (a) of SEZ Rules, 2006.

The request is placed before BoA for its consideration.

Detailed reasons for delay:

due Delay/uncertainty in the supply chain of construction material, unavailability of skilled labor etc to the spread of Covid-19. Due to the heavy rainfall, the entered rain water into the excavated project area damaged some important construction materials like mobile crane etc. submerging them in to the water. To bring the project site to its normal condition the rain water was dewatered with the help of motors and by engaging the water tankers, as the surrounding underground nalas/canals were blocked/choked. As the General Contractor and the Fabrication Contractor could not be able to rise to the occasion, the Project Management was forced to change the contractors. M/s. Leighton was taken as General Contractor and M/s. JSSLW was appointed as Fabrication Contractor and now reasonable progress is achieved.

The unit has informed that currently the construction of plot/processing/warehouse building is going on since one and a half month. Excavation is more or less completed. The entire site has spread of rock from | to 2 feet and its top layer with mild rocks up to 4 to 5 metres and further hard rock. Therefore, excavation and piling work got delayed. The works of PCC concreting, RCC footing, RR wall, plinth beam, basement filling have been started; upon completion, the structural work will get commenced.

They have executed a contract with M/s Kirby Building Systems & Structures India Pvt. Ltd.. They have already supplied the foundation bolt at the site and from next week onwards they will start delivering the structural materials at the SEZ site and immediately commence the erection works. They expect the erection will be completed within three months starting from mid-February till end May 2022. Dip lines machines will be expected to arrive at the site during June 2022. For this, they have placed their order with M/s HL Advance Technologies (M) Sdn. Bhd., Malaysia.

Detailed reasons for delay:

The unit submits that initially their product was in Red Category and therefore they have lost 2 years without starting any work. Therefore, they sought and obtained the initial extension. By that time Tamil Nadu Green Tribunal has changed their product category from Red to Orange; thus, their product has qualified in the AMRL SEZ site for manufacturing.

They have applied before Tamil Nadu Pollution Department for obtaining their consent. Unfortunately, by that time pandemic had struck globally and they could not do anything because no supplier has shown any interest on supply of machineries. They have applied for 2™ extension of the LOA got it extended for further 7 months i.e up to 14.02.2022. In that period, they have started levelling the land and started the Civil work and completed the basement. They have also received

| :

major portion of the roofing material. Once their LOA is renewed, balance material will be received within a week or two.

Recommendation by DC, MEPZ:

DC has recommended that the proposal for extension of validity of the LoA of the unit for the period from 14.02.2022 to 13.02.2023 may be placed before the BoA for consideration.

c. The Unit has completed entire construction activities along with installation of necessary plant and machineries required for smooth operation.

l with a renewal fee up to 31.12.2022 and expecting the surprise inspection by USFDA anytime shortly. However, due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, the inspection could not happen last 2 years.

d. The Unit has submitted that since the situation seems to be back to normal, the Regulatory Authority shall inspect their plant anytime and accordingly, they are hopeful that they shall start their commercial production in this year only. Further, the Unit has submitted that meantime, they have also got approvals for COVID-vaccines for which they were targeting to export the same to developing Countries vis-a-vis to those Countries where there is dearth of COVID-19vaccines for which they are in process to start their commercial production in due course and apropos will do the exports.
e. On scrutiny of the application, it is observed that the construction work has been completed in the year 2019 itself and the commercial production is pending only for want of approval of the Regulatory Authorities. As such, there is no change in the status as compared to last three years.

Specified Officer’s Report:

DoC Earlier w.r.t. the proposal of the said unit for allowing inclusion of ‘Restricted items’ in LoA, had obtained comments from DGFT/ MHA/ DGEP before seeking approval of the BoA. DC, NSEZ has stated that since the proposed items relate to fire arms, comments of nodal departments like DGFT/ MHA/ DGEP are desirable for consideration by the Board of Approval.

GEP are desirable for consideration by the Board of Approval. Vide DoC’s OM dated 11.12.2020 followed by subsequent reminders, DGFT, MHA and DGEP were requested to offer their comments on the matter. The response received from the said Departments/Ministry is as follows: - DGEP _: Vide OM dated 13.01.2021(pg.14/C) DGEP has stated that the proposed new items to be added in LoA are restricted in nature as per Foreign Trade Policy. As these items relates to arms and ammunition their clearances are subject to requirement specified by Ministry of Home Affairs. DGEP do not seem to be the appropriate authority to comment on addition of such restricted items proposed in the LoA of the unit, other than allowing activities permissible under SEZ law. Therefore, DoC may like to seek comments from Directorate General of Foreign Trade/Ministry of Home Affairs etc. before putting the proposal in the BoA for a final decision.

DGET : Vide OM dated 19.02.2021 (pg.19/C) DGFT has referred to their OM dated 22.04.2019 further referring to their inputs vide OM dated 29.08.2018 in the earlier proposal of the unit wherein DGFT had stated that these are military weapons//arms/armaments.

In the physical inspection report dated 12.01.2022, it was specified that except for few buildings in existence to be allotted to the Developer, the land is vacant without any temple, cemetery or waterways. An HT Power Tower and overhead line is passing through the site with 4 post and 93 electrical poles. TNEB had agreed to relocate the towers and the post. Also, the earlier owners have dumped the agricultural produce and SIPCOT had advised them to remove the dump and undertaken to put a temporary fencing around the boundary line. 

In terms of Rule 2(zf) the SEZ Rules, 2006, “Vacant Land” means the land where there are no functional ports, manufacturing units, industrial activities or structures in which any commercial or economic activity is in progress. DC has confirmed that the few buildings are pre-existence in nature and that are going to be demolished upon the proposed land notified. It is further confirmed that no activities are performed in those buildings and which are not usable in nature (very old buildings not usable conditions).

## Recommendations of DC: - 

DC, MEPZ has recommended the proposal for consideration of the BoA in terms of Rule 3 of the SEZ Rules, 2006.
