Minutes of the 36th meeting of the SEZ Board of Approval held on
5th November 2009 to consider proposals for setting up of Special Economic Zones

Minutes of the 36th meeting of the SEZ BOA held on 5th November 09

The thirty sixth meeting of the SEZ Board of Approval was held on 05.11.2009 under the chairmanship of Shri Rahul Khullar, Secretary, Department of Commerce in Room No. 141, Udyog Bhawan, New Delhi to consider proposals for setting up of Special Economic Zones and other miscellaneous requests in respect of notified/approved SEZs. A list of participants is enclosed (Annexure -1).

Addressing the Board of Approval members, the Chairman informed that so far 578 formal approvals have been granted for setting up of SEZs out of which 340 have been notified. He further informed that over Rs. 1,29,985 crores have been invested in the Special Economic Zones during this short span of time and direct employment of the order of 4,18,129 persons has been generated in the Special Economic Zones. During the first two quarters of the current financial year, total export of Rs.89,751 crores approximately has been made from SEZs.

Item No. 36.1: Delegation of powers to a sub-committee of BOA for considering matter such as authorised activities etc.

Department of Revenue was not in favour of setting up this committee as it felt that it would merely be duplicating the work of Board of Approval. Further they have also pointed out that detailed prior examination of proposals for the sub- committee meetings, which are proposed to be held once every week, may not be possible. They have also stated that any participation in such meetings, without proper detailed examination of agenda proposals may not be useful. They also pointed out that it is important that all the representative departments should be present for such meetings as also the Development Commissioners without which any decision may not be possible. BOA is the only forum which presents such a single window opportunity and hence Department of Revenue does not want any dilution of the existing arrangement. It was, therefore, decided by BOA that the decision on this issue be deferred.

Item No. 36. 2: Preparation of a default list of services, consumed outside the SEZ for authorized operations undertaken by the developers/co-developers/units in Special Economic Zones (SEZs), for the purpose refund of Service Tax.

On the request of Department of Revenue, the item was deferred as it was indicated that they would apprise the proposal in the Department of Revenue before it was considered by BOA.

Item No.36.3: Request of Cochin Special Economic Zone for expansion of the zone

DC, CSEZ indicated that the existing CSEZ is completely inadequate to cater the requirement of the demand from the industry. Accordingly, the land for increasing the SEZ area is proposed to be acquired. Initially, it was proposed that the contiguity condition may be relaxed as the proposed land is nearly 25 km. away from the existing CSEZ. However, on reconsideration, it is proposed that a new SEZ

2

be set up in the land being acquired. Given the fact that in Kerala, to get land is extremely difficult, it is proposed to set up a multi-product SEZ though the acquisition is proposed only between 150-180 acres. It was pointed out by the representative of Department of Revenue that if the matter is to be considered by the Board then the minimum requirement of the land and contiguity has to be met as prescribed by the SEZ Rules. However, it was observed that since the Zone is being set up by the Central Government and there is a demand for space for setting up of manufacturing units, the Administrative Ministry i.e. Department of Commerce will take a view on this issue.

ITEM NO. 36.4: SETTING UP OF SEZs:-

It was noted by BOA that to get 2000 hectares of contiguous land is a very tall order. In these days of economic depression, it is important that the investor’s interest is sustained in this key infrastructure. It is preferable that the issue is resolved through dialogue.

(ii) Grant of third Extension of in-principle approval. The Board Noted that under the existing SEZ Rules, there is no provision for grant of third extension in respect of in-principle approvals, though there is a proposal for amending the rules which may take some time. However, keeping in view that the three SEZs under consideration are multi-product SEZs and the fourth one is an engineering sector SEZ, acquisition of land has been a major constraint.
Accordingly, the BOA decided to grant de novo approval from the date of expiry of the last extension subject to these developers filing Form ‘A’ and also getting the concerned State Government’s recommendations.

(i) Mumbai SEZ Limited, Khopta, District Raigad, Maharashtra (ii) Mahindra World City, Karla, Maharashtra (iii) Tamilnadu Industrial Development Corporation Ltd, District Krishnagiri, Tamilnadu. (iv) Pune high-tech Infra Engineering Pvt. Ltd., District Satara Maharashtra.
