Agenda for the 35th meeting of the Board of Approval
to be held on 11th August 2009

Item No. 35.1: Delegation of powers to a sub-committee of BOA for considering matters such as authorised activities etc.

Delegation of powers to a sub-committee of BOA for considering matters such as authorised activities etc. was discussed in the meeting of BoA held on 19th June 2009 and was deferred on the request of Department of Revenue as they have indicated that they could not examine the proposal as the time given was very short.
The Board decided that this issue could be considered in a meeting to be convened by Department of Commerce. The matter will now be discussed with DoR on 04.08.2009. The outcome of the discussions along with suggestions of other members will be considered by the BoA in the meeting.

Item No. 35. 2: Proposed additions in the list of authorized operations

The issue relating to authorized operations in the notified SEZs was discussed in the meeting of the Board of Approval held on 22nd June 2007. At that time, it was felt that a time gap exists between the date of notification and actual approval of the authorized operations by the Board of Approval. Accordingly, to avoid delays in the project implementation, the authorized activities, as per the list enclosed at Annexure – 1, were approved by the Board of Approval in the said meeting as default operations which may be carried out by the Developer or Co-Developer, as the case may be, after the SEZ is notified.

Development Commissioners/ Unit Approval Committee were advised to allow the Developers/approved Co-Developers duty free material for these default authorized activities from the date of notification of the SEZ.

It is further felt that some more authorized activities may be added in the list of default operations as mentioned above. The additions in the earlier list are highlighted in bold and italics and are placed at Annexure – 2 for consideration of BoA.

Item No. 35.3: Introduction of new category in the already approved categories in respect of “Transfer of In-principle or Formal approval issued to a SEZ Developer to its subsidiary or SPV”.

The Board, in its meeting held on 15-01-2009, approved certain guidelines for change of name/transfer of approvals in the following categories:-

(i) Category I – Where there is mere change in name and no change in share holding pattern of the original developer.

(ii) Category II – Where approval is transferred to a 100% SPV or a wholly owned subsidiary (WOS) of the developer company,

(iii) Category III- De-merger in terms of a Court decision in respect of M/s. Bajaj Holdings Pvt. Ltd.

(iv) Category IV- Where partly the equity is held by State Government or one of its organisations by virtue of the State Government’s requirement

BOA further indicated that these guidelines will be valid henceforth with respect to change of name/ transfer of approval cases.

It was further decided that in regard to the rest of the cases the Department of Commerce would separately examine the matter in consultation with the Department of Revenue and come up with separate policy guidelines.

DoC has suggested one more new category, which is reproduced as below:-

(v) Category V- Where at least 51% equity is held by the original developer, i.e., where the controlling interest of the original developer continue to be there.

The above proposed category is submitted for consideration of BoA.

Item No. 35. 4: Approval of authorized operations in processing area of the SEZ

BoA can delegate its powers to Development Commissioner for effective and proper discharge of the functions of the Board under sub-section (4) of section 9 of the SEZ Act. It is proposed to delegate the powers of Board under clause (b) sub- section (2) of section 9 of the SEZ Act in respect of operations in the processing area of Special Economic Zones to the Development Commissioners to be exercised in consultation with the Approval Committee. Once BoA approves it, relevant Rule will be amended suitably. The matter is placed for consideration of BoA.

Item No. 35.5: Applicability of Guidelines for Power Generation, Transmission and Distribution in Special Economic Zones

Guidelines for Power Generation, Transmission and Distribution in Special Economic Zones were issued by Department of Commerce on 27th February 2009. There are a few cases where approval has already been granted to the developers/co-developers for Power Generation and Distribution in the processing area as one of the authorized operations for their SEZs.

Two such cases are enumerated below:-

(i) M/s. Moser Baer India Limited (MBIL) was granted approval for Power Generation and Distribution in the processing area as one of the authorized operations for their SEZs. Accordingly, MBIL has set up a power plant of 15 MW capacity in the processing area of the SEZ in the year 2008 and has started generating power from June 2008 by procuring duty free raw materials, consumables etc. for operation and maintenance of the Power plants as authorized operation. Power generated is distributed to SEZ units set up within the SEZ. Since the SEZ units have not started full-fledged production and exports on account of recession, the present requirement of power is only around 5 to 6 MW. Hence, MBIL is transferring surplus power (based on the approval given by the NSEZ) to the adjacent EOU unit of MBIL which manufactures and sells optical medical products. MBIL has applied to DC NSEZ for fresh permission for transfer of power to its adjacent EOUs as the permission already granted expired on 26th June 2009. They have also applied for permission to procure duty free furnace oil for generation of power as authorized operation. They have sought following clarifications:-

a. Applicability of power guidelines issued by Department of Commerce on 27th February 2009 to MBIL power plant which has been set up in the processing area of the SEZ as a part of “authorized operations”. b. If yes, rules/guidance on computation of NFE for the power plant as a unit including treatment of past purchases of capital items, inputs consumables. c. Issue of suitable instructions to the extent that until the unit is granted the LOA on duty benefits to be denied on the consumables, inputs etc. for the power plant.

(ii) M/s. Reliance Utilities Ltd. (RUL) is an approved co-developer in Reliance SEZ, Jamnagar to set up a co-generation power plant in the processing area of the SEZ to generate and distribute power. M/s. RUL has set up 720 MW power plant in the processing area of the SEZ after availing all the fiscal benefits available under SEZ Act. M/s. RUL has already started production in the co-generation power plant. This has been done prior to the issuance of power guidelines. It is also not covered under any of the categories in the present Power Guidelines.

4

DC, KASEZ is of the opinion that in case, it is categorized as category (i) of power guidelines, to be located in non-processing area, it would not be feasible as the unit is already set up, declaring this area to be a non-processing area would affect the compactness/contiguity of the whole processing area or in case of “category (ii) of power guidelines, a unit set up within SEZ” similar to cases of IT/ITES, Gem and Jewellery, Biotech, etc. in respect of which generation of power has already been approved by the BoA to developer/co-developer and the said power plant may be treated as an SEZ unit with obligation to achieve NFE under Rule 53 of SEZ Rules, 2006.

If the above position is accepted then following issues also requires to be clarified:-

(a) Whether developer/co-developer is required to be issued an LoA under rule 17? (b) If so, what would the date of such LoA. (c) Validity of such LoA would be five years from the date of start of generation of power.

The matter is placed before BoA for deliberation and for taking a view

Item No. 35.11: Request for increasing / decreasing area

(i) Request of M/s Sunny Vista Realtors Pvt. Ltd. for addition of area in the Services SEZ at District Raigad, Maharashtra

Sector specific SEZ for Services SEZ at Raigad, Maharashtra developed by M/s. Sunny Vista Realtors Pvt. Ltd. was notified on 19th February 2009 over an area of 139.83 hectares. The developer had requested to include 63.70 hectares in the said SEZ. The said proposal was listed in the BoA meeting held on 19th June 2009. It was noted that part of the land proposed to be added is under the Mumbai-Pune Expressway and some part is scattered. The Board preferred that the land is inspected again and a report filed by DC. However, at the request of DC SEEPZ, it was decided to first examine the proposal on file and subsequently consider the proposal. As per the earlier Inspection Report, certain portion of the additional area was on either side of the Mumbai Pune Expressway and there was an underpass connecting the two areas of the SEZ. It was further mentioned that some survey numbers not in possession of the developer and hence were excluded by the developer from the proposed additional land. However, separate access i.e. right of the way, to these areas would be necessary, which would result in reduction of area to that extent.

The developer submitted a revised proposal for inclusion of 60.41 hectares instead of 63.70 hectares. The developer had submitted that they have excluded the area of land on the other side of the Mumbai Pune Expressway. They have submitted the revised map of the proposal.

The matter is being examined on file and findings will be placed in the meeting for consideration of BoA.

The developer had requested to de-notify a part of land falling under survey no. 367/1A2 (part) to the extent of 07.75.78 hectares in the said SEZ. The developer has stated that a slump in demand for IT/ITES space, especially in SEZ format and current global economic slowdown especially in IT/ITES industry has aggravated the mismatch in demand-supply situation. They are not in a position to lease out any big space due to negligible demand from IT sector. The developer has stated that banks are not providing funds in case the property is not pre-leased before construction. Hence, they have requested to de- notify 7.75.78 hectares of land to accommodate the rise in demand for residential

After de-notification, the total area of the SEZ will remain as 15.65.10 hectares. The developer has submitted the map showing the area to be de-notified. They have undertaken that the proposed area for de-notification is vacant and the de-notification will not affect the contiguity of the existing SEZ.

The said request was listed in the meetings of BoA held on 8th August 2007 and 19th August 2007 and was rejected on the following grounds:-

(i) As per the SEZ Rules 2006, fresh Letters of Approval for this sector cannot be issued; (ii) The validity of this LoA is only till 31st December 2007; (iii) Transfer of existing unit from Falta to Kandla when the validity extension is in question would not be feasible; (iv) There are no explicit provisions for shifting old units to another SEZ.

Now, the unit has again approached the BoA and has informed that their request for transfer from Falta SEZ to Kandla SEZ may be considered, as their unit is not viable at Falta SEZ for the following reasons:

(i) FSEZ is 60 kms far away from port but KASEZ is only 6 kms away from port. (ii) FSEZ is situated in eastern Region from Eastern Region to ship at Africa and Middle East is much costlier then Western Region of our country. (iii) The product is low in value but having large volumes. Therefore, shipping freight cost becomes higher.
(iv) There is a large scope of marketing of product at Kandla SEZ as similar 10 units are functioning there, so overseas buyers are visiting KASEZ regularly.
So there is no problem of marketing at KASEZ. Raw material suppliers area also visiting from USA to KASEZ time to time (v) Technical staff is available in Kandla SEZ on account of existence of similar units there.
(vi) Skilled labours are also easily available at Kandla SEZ. (vii) Owner of the company is also from Gujarat (viii) Due to non-viability, the unit has failed to export from last 72 months.

M/s. Goldstar Jewellery International Pvt. Ltd. was granted LoA on 30.09.2004 for setting up of a gem and jewellery unit in SEEPZ SEZ. Since LoA was valid for one year, the validity was extended three times for one year each.

Due to recession in the international market and other problems being faced by the industry, M/s. Goldstar Jewellery International Pvt. Ltd., vide their letter dated 19.08.2008 requested for surrender of their LOA dated 3.09.2007 to DC, SEEPZ and further requested for issuance of new LOA to establish a new unit for undertaking IT related services.

M/s. Goldstar Jewellery International Pvt.

Goldstar Jewellery International Pvt. Ltd. was directed to pay the duty on various capital goods and the request for re-export without payment of duty was declined.

M/s. Goldstar Jewellery International Pvt. Ltd. made representations detailing difficulties faced by the unit and requested for permission to re-export the capital goods without payment of duty or grant extension of LOA for a period of six months to enable them to re-export the capital goods or permit transfer of the capital goods to another SEZ unit.

Office of DC, while declining to extend the validity period of the LOA, directed the company to pay the duty on the capital goods. Therefore, the unit has made a representation before BoA for extension of LoA for a period of six months so that the capital goods imported duty free during the validity of LOA can be re- exported. The comments of DC were sought. As per DC, SEEPZ, the unit was from time to time granted approval for extension of validity of LOA for implementation of approved project. However, they failed to implement the project within the extended validity period of LOA.
