Item No. 33.3: Request of M/s. Essar SEZ Hazira Ltd regarding multiple entry gates to their SEZ

The above mentioned request of M/s. Essar SEZ Hazira Ltd was considered in the meeting of Board of Approvals held on 23rd February 2009. Report of the concerned DC was also called.

The issue was considered in length in the said meeting. After deliberations, it was noted that currently, there are three gates, namely, (a) SEZ main gate (b) Inter- carting gate (c) Product gate

The representative of the Department of Customs indicated that if a number of gates are provided, then monitoring will become a problem. It is preferable to keep the number of gates at the minimum. BOA accordingly decided to approve two gates – one for inter-carting and transporting DRI and the second gate for personnel and other movements.

Now, the developer has again requested that the three gates approved earlier by DC, Kandla are critical for the smooth functioning of the SEZ. The necessity of each gate given by them is explained below:

Product Gate - Product gate is presently used only for movement of Hot DRI from SEZ unit for consumption by DTA unit. The Hot DRI moves in specially designed refractory lined carriers and the same is mounted on specially designed transporters known as DRI carriers. The carrier is specially lined for withstanding the high temperature and sealed with Nitrogen gas to prevent any contact with the normal atmosphere. This is considering the fact that HOT DRI is pyropherous (would catch fire when exposed to air due to re-oxidation). The Hot DRI which is in molten form is collected at SEZ unit at temperature in excess of 800 Degrees. Each trip carries approx 90 tons and thus there are approximately 40-45 trips in a day currently.

The Hot DRI carrier has a height of 8 meters, width of 5.5 meters (with the carrier vessel) and length of 9 meters. It needs a minimum road width clearance of 16 meters (5 meters on each side) and needs turning radius of minimum 8.5 meters.

The road width at Inter-carting gate is only 12 meters and thus the Hot DRI vessel cannot pass through the inter-carting gate. Secondly, even if the inter-carting gate is widened, the Hot DRI carrier cannot go into the DTA unit premises as there are factory buildings etc of the DTA Units which will not facilitate any further movement. The product being carried at over 800 degrees needs to be separated out of normal traffic in view of safety aspects and avoid any accidents. Thus, purely on technical grounds besides safety aspects, Hot DRI carrier cannot operate through the inter-carting gate and has to be provided entry through the product gate only.

Control Mechanism at Product Gate - Hot DRI is moved from SEZ unit only after the clearance by the SEZ authority. The delivery challan reflects the bill of entry number against which the material is cleared. The weighment of the product is done at the plant which is evidenced by a weighment slip. The product gate is manned by 4

security personnel and is monitored on a 24 hour basis through CCTV. The control room for the CCTV is located in the office of the preventive staff. The security personnel also maintain a register at the product gate wherein the exit/entry for the DRI carriers is recorded along with the corresponding delivery challan and weighment slip.

Inter carting gate - The inter-carting gate is for enabling inward movement of bulk raw materials to SEZ units from the water front jetty (located at a distance of 2 km) and outward movement of finished goods for export and domestic sale (against payment of duty). Presently 8000 tons of raw materials such as Iron Ore, Pellets etc is moved through the inter-carting gate. This volume will increase to 40,000 tons per day when all the SEZ units are fully operational. The product gate cannot be used for the movement of bulk raw materials and finished goods as there are building/utilities etc of the DTA units which will not facilitate any entry. This movement is not possible through the SEZ main gate as it involves a detour of almost 15 KMs and will result in heavy traffic congestion apart from loss of time, energy, fuel and lead to safety hazards.

Main Gate - The main gate has been designed to have width of almost 100ft. with the canopy size – 165 ft. X 65ft. & 40 ft. height.

Reasons given by the developer for not substituting Inter-carting by SEZ main entrance gate may be seen at Annexure - 1. In view of the technical and logistic difficulties involved, the developer had requested for following arrangement:

S. No. Description of Gate Purpose 1 SEZ Main Gate
For all kinds of movements entry/exit for SEZ operations 2. Inter-carting Gate For entry/exit of bulk raw materials towards port/jetty area 3 Product Gate Only for HDRI carriers

The photographs of all the gates and related activities are enclosed at Annexure - 2. This Department examined the request on file and allowed the developer to operate the above mentioned three gates till 31-05-09, pending a final decision on the request. The comments of Department of Customs were also called for. The same may be seen at Annexure - 3. The matter is submitted for consideration of BoA.

Educational, Healthcare and Entertainment facility in 4.10 ha of the said SEZ. An Agreement between the developer and co-developer has been provided. The proposal was listed in the meeting of BoA held on 23-2-09. The same was deferred as a commercial agreement referred to in the agreement was not finalized. Now, the co- developer has submitted the revised proposal which is submitted for consideration of BoA.

Item No. 33.5: Request of M/s. Mundra Port and SEZ Limited for increase in power generation capacity in the SEZ for supply of power at Mundra, Kutch, Gujarat

Sector specific SEZ for supply of power to SEZs, EOUs and others at Mundra, Kutch, Gujarat, developed by M/s. Adani Power Private Limited, was notified on 10-05-07 on an area of 293-88-10 ha. On the request of the developer, the proposal for increase in the power generation capacity from 2000 MW to 2640 MW was considered and approved in the meeting of the Board of Approval held on 8-8-07.

The request of M/s. Adani Power Limited for further increasing the power generation capacity from 2640 MW to 5040 MW in the SEZ for supply of power at Mundra, Kutch, Gujarat was considered in the meeting of BoA held on 23-02-09. In the said meeting, Principal Secretary, Govt. of Gujarat indicated that in terms of the power generation policy of Govt. of Gujarat, the Energy Department has signed an MoU with M/s Adani Power for generating 5000 MW of power. This projection is based on the requirement of power for the next 10 years. One of the principal factors taken into account is the acreage with the developer. It was indicated by the BOA that the current utilization of power is very low and it is preferable that the developer comes back with a clear plan for power utilization based on which BOA can take a decision. BOA then decided to defer the decision on this proposal.

Now, Government of Gujarat had indicated the projections of power demand in Mundra Port and SEZ. They had enclosed the letter of the developer showing projections of power demand over a period of 10 years. Subsequently, the developer revised the demand which is tabulated below:-

Industry Capacity (MW) Metal Units (incl. Aluminium Smelter, Copper Smelter & Zinc 1800 Steel Plants, Rolling Mills and Forging & Casting Units 1000 Cement Plants 200 Chemical Plants (including Caustic Soda and Soda Ash) 300 Units and Infrastructure Facilities other than above 1000 Supply to other SEZs 900 7

Total 5200

The justification given by the developer is as follows:-

(i) Since power generation projects have long gestation period compared to manufacturing units, planning for the same is required to be done well in advance. In order to provide power at competitive rate, they have planned to set up large capacity power plant.

(ii) MPSEZ is planned over an area of more than 10000 hectares and will have more than 5000 hectares as processing area. As per the report of their consultants, other than mega projects, Mundra SEZ have potentials to attract various industries such as Auto Components, Chemicals, Light & Heavy Engineering, Food & Agro, Pharma, Plastics, Gems & Jewellery, Stones, Textiles, etc.

(iii) The developer has proposed to sell power to other SEZs in the region for whom setting up of small capacity power plant will not be cost effective.

(iv) The developer has further submitted that economic slowdown has resulted in reduction in the price of power plants and hence resulted in lower capital expenditure and reduced cost of power generation. The developer had tied up with foreign suppliers for plant and machinery and reduced cost and agreed delivery scheduled for additional capacity which will be available only in 2013. Delay in implementation will lead to increase in cost and delivery scheduled thereby adversely affecting the plan to reduce the cost of power.

The request of the developer is submitted for consideration of BoA.

Item No.33.7: Amendments in authorized operations

(i) Amendment in authorized operation approved in respect of sector specific SEZ for IT/ITES at Faridabad, Haryana by M/s. Selecto Systems Pvt. Ltd.

Request of M/s Selecto Systems Private Limited (formerly known as M/s. Haryana Technology Park) for Residential Complex in non-processing area was considered and approved by BoA in its meeting held on 08-08-2006. Approval Letter to this effect was issued on 29th August 2006.

The developer has submitted that they have proposed an overnight stay facility for in-house occupants of the zone in their Master Plan, as it is a pre-requisite by IT/ITES companies to have some overnight stay facility for some of their staff.
Instead, they were allowed a Residential Complex in the non-processing area as per size/quantum approved by the Approval Committee as authorized operations.
Afterwards, on their request, DC approved the 100% area of the zone as processing area, meaning thereby that the zone will be for exclusive use for occupants and no outsider would be allowed.

Since now, there is no non-processing area; the developer has requested to allow hotel for in-house occupants in processing area. They have also submitted that they would like to call this a hotel (although it is in the nature of guest house) to 12

make it client friendly and for mental comfort ‘of quality’ of their international client users. It will be for use of the clients of the SEZ only. The developer has further submitted that they have another issue of building a rooftop helipad on the top of multi level car parking, as it was not there in their authorized operations approval letter.

As per National Building Code, 2005, for high rise building above 60 m in height, provision should be made. Since, the height of their building is more than 60m and it is a statutory requirement, the developer has requested for a rooftop helipad on top of car park. Above mentioned two requests of the developer are placed for consideration of BoA.

(ii) Amendment in authorized operations approved in respect of sector specific SEZ for IT/ITES at Taramani, Chennai, Tamil Nadu by M/s. TRIL Infopark Limited

Sector specific SEZ for IT/ITES at Taramani, Chennai, Tamil Nadu by M/s. TRIL Infopark Limited was notified on 23rd January 2009 over an area of 10.24.225 hectares. The Request of developer for Integrated Convention Centre (1500 seater) including hotel (300 rooms) in the non-processing area over an area of 28,126 sq. meters was considered and not approved in the meeting of BoA held on 23rd February 2009.

Now, the developer has submitted that they wish to make available this convention centre for the use of Southern India. They have further submitted that this will boost the Indian Tourism and, in turn, will help to generate net foreign exchange flow. In view of this, they have requested for 1500 seater Integrated Convention Centre in the non-processing area. The request of the developer is re- submitted for consideration of BoA.

(iii) Amendment in the approval granted to M/s. Quest SEZ Development Pvt. Ltd. for carrying out authorized operations in the non-processing area

The request of M/s Quest SEZ Development Private Limited for authorized operations in the sector specific SEZ for Precision Engineering Products at Belgaum, Karnataka was approved in the meeting of BoA held on 23rd February 2009 in the Non-processing area, as listed below:- S. No Quantum sought (in sq. meters) Quantum Approved (in sq. meters) 1. Cafeteria, food courts, Restaurants, Coffee shops and catering facilities
(4 Nos.) 1000 1000 2. Training room/Conference Hall/Auditorium (4 Nos.) 2000 2000

13

The developer has now submitted that their entire SEZ is processing area spread over 262 acres. Demarcating non-processing area for such small activities would be difficult and would lead to undue hardship in terms of maintenance of the same. In view of this, the developer has requested to amend the approval by granting these authorized activities in the processing area. The request of the developer is submitted for consideration.

Item No. 33.8: Requests for change in area and location of the SEZs. (i)

acquisition/possession

The cases which do not fulfil the above criteria will be placed before BoA for consideration.
The Board noted that as per SEZ Rules 2006, the in-principle approval is valid for one year and extension of validity of in-principle approval may be granted for another two years. In the light of EGoM decision prohibiting compulsory acquisition, it may be difficult to acquire 1000 hectares of contiguous land within a period of 3 years. To allow extension of validity of in-principle approval beyond 3 years in case of multi product SEZs, the Board directed to take steps to amend the relevant Rule to add such provision. In the light of the above decision, the request of M/s. Rajasthan Explosives and Chemicals Limited for extension of validity of in-principle approval beyond 3 years is submitted for consideration of BoA. The details are as under:-

Name of the developer, Location and area of the SEZ Sector Details of Approval Status of land possession M/s. Rajasthan Explosives & Chemicals Ltd, Dholpur, Rajasthan, 1000 Ha. Multi product IP approval granted on 17-01-06. Valid up to 16-01-07. Two extensions granted upto 16-1-09 63.5%

In this case, the condition of possession of 50% land stands fulfilled. The amendment to Rule 6 (2) of SEZ Rules, 2006, which allows extension for a period not exceeding two years, is being processed separately. Therefore, the request of the developer may be allowed.

07-04-2006. Extension of the validity period up to 07-04-2007 (one year) was granted.

The request of the developer was received for extending the validity of in- principle approval by another one year after 20 days of the expiry of validity period. The cases for grant of second extension of in-principle approval were considered in the BoA meeting held on 15th January, 2009, wherein it was decided that in respect of IT/ITES SEZs, where minimum area requirement is of 10 hectares, no second extension can be granted. However, in the present case, the SEZ is proposed to be set up on area of 130 hectares and falls in second category where the developer should 35

have 60% of land in possession for grant of second extension. From the request of the developer, it may be seen that the developer is in the possession of entire land, in which case, he can apply for grant of formal approval.
3. Since the developer had applied after 20 days of the expiry of validity period, the approval of BoA for condoning the delay is required and also to make the proposal live, extension of in-principle approval is required beyond three years for another six months. The matter is placed for consideration of BoA.
