"; Further, the Co-developer has stated that JNPT-SEZ is strategically located near to port and hence they are getting numerous enquiries from other than Trading and warehousing units as well which includes light manufacturing/processing units in various fields like Agro, Non-hazardous chemical, metal-based industry etc. Furthermore, they have stated that their FTWZ facility is fully operational and getting good number of units also.

units in various fields like Agro, Non-hazardous chemical, metal-based industry etc. Furthermore, they have stated that their FTWZ facility is fully operational and getting good number of units also. Therefore, considering the growing business requirement of clients, their management has decided to amend their Formal Approval to Broad band scope of their authorized operations. This will help them in allotting space to varieties of units other than Trading and warehousing units also. Rule position/guidelines: As per DoC's guidelines dated 13.09.2013 regarding Broad- banding, Sectoral broad-banding provisions have been introduced for categories ofsectors to encompass similar/related areas with each broad-banded sector treated as a single sector for the purposes of minimum land area criteria. The principle of broad-banding would be applied taking into account the fact that no additional environmental externalities be required for the additional units which would come up on account of such broad banding. BoA will have the discretion to allow additional categories to be broad-banded into a sector based on compatibility of area requirement etc. Recommendation by DC, SEEPZ-SEZ: - The proposal has been recommended by DC, SEEPZ and forwarded for the consideration of the BoA. 114.10(ii) Request of M/s Raj Rajeshwar Lalita Tripursundari Private Limited, Atchutapuram for permission to import Ferro Manganese Slag for authorized operations.
