It was informed to the Committee that as per the instructions from the previous approval committee, the matter of importing a Battery-powered reduced-scale Electrical Vehicle (Aston Martin) Model DB5 Junior, along with accessories (2 nos), was referred to the Ministry of Commerce and Industry (MoCI) for clarification. MoCI has clarified that Rule 10 of SEZ rules grants the approval committee the authority to permit goods and services for authorized operations, and action should be taken accordingly, following Rule 10 of SEZ Rules. The Committee took on record the essentialities raised by the Developer : (i) The essentiality of the vehicle is duly certified by the Chartered Engineer (ii) There is no limitation on the seating arrangement for any electric operated vehicles File No.S-SEZ-MINS0SBSP/1/2022-JDCP I/2324/2023 31

(iii) There are precedents and approval for electric operated mobility vehicles in the SEZs earlier under Rule 10 The Committee, however observed that in the case of M/s.Serum Institute they have foreign and Indian delegates visiting their manufacturing unit, whereas it would not be case with other developers who would not require the same specific niche requirement but can take precedent of the said decision and hence it was decided by the Committee to disallow the proposal with the suggestion to the Developer to take the proposal to the Ministry or Board of Approval for getting necessary clarification. Meeting ended with a vote of thanks to the Chair.
