The Board noted that the issue of “vacancy” is before the EGoM and therefore decided to defer the proposal till a decision is taken on the “vacancy” issue in the EGoM.

Item No. 11: Request of M/s. Tamil Nadu Industrial Development Corporation Limited for considering M/s. AMRL International Tech City Limited as developer in the multi product SEZ in Tirunelveli District, Tamil Nadu and also for relaxation in contiguity.

The Board noted that the area of 1020 hectares for which formal approval was granted for setting up of multi product SEZ was jointly held by TIDCO and its JV company M/s AMRL International Tech City Limited. Since the land was not in complete possession of the TIDCO and is partly held by the JV partner, the Board after deliberations directed that both the partners may apply again for fresh approval under Section 3 (10) of the SEZ Act, 2005. In the alternative, an SPV can be formed by both the parties and the land can be in the name of the SPV which can apply for the status of the Developer by way of a fresh application.

Item No. 12: Request of M/s Trishyiraya Recycling Pvt Ltd., a unit in MEPZ SEZ, for extension of the Letter of Approval.

DC, MEPZ SEZ informed the Board that the unit has been performing satisfactorily and would recommend extension of the approval of the Unit. After detailed deliberations, the Board approved the request of the Unit holder subject to

condition that there would be no DTA sale, except for the scrap to be disposed of as per the provisions in the SEZ Rules.

Item No.13: Proposal of Noida SEZ for renewal of letter of approval of plastic units for 5 years.

The issue of renewal of letter of approvals to plastic units in SEZs was discussed in the Board. It was noted that the letter of approvals for these units are being extended taking due account of the fact that thousands of families of employees in these units are dependent on these units. At the same time, it was felt that in future these units should slowly be phased out after giving notice period of 3-5 years. After detailed deliberations, the Board decided to grant extension of one year in all such cases and to place the matter before the EGoM for taking a view on phasing out of these units eventually.

Item No. 14: Request of M/s. Blue Cross Infotek Ltd. and MGA Associates, KASEZ for renewal/extension of Letter of Approval for a further period of five years

The request of M/s. Blue Cross Infotek Ltd. and MGA Associates, KASEZ for renewal/extension of Letter of Approval for a further period of five years was discussed. The Board decided to approve the request, subject to the condition of no DTA sale.

All items in the Supplementary Agenda were deferred for the next meeting due to paucity of time.
