(i) Request of M/s. Ansal IT City & Parks Ltd. to grant extension in timeline for construction of minimum built area in the IT/ITES at Plot No. TZ-06, Sector Tech Zone, Gr. Noida, Uttar Pradesh
The developer was granted formal approval for setting up the above mentioned SEZ, vide LoA dated 7th April, 2006. The SEZ was notified on 29.08.2006. The SEZ is operation w.e.f. 22.04.2014. Presently, two units namely; (i) Vidya Mantra Edusystems Pvt. Ltd. & (ii) Hanu Software Pvt. Ltd. are in operation in the SEZ.
The, Board authorized DC, NSEZ to issue notice to the developer as to why the letter of approval should not be cancelled and the SEZ denotified. Thereafter, DC, NSEZ will bring a fresh proposal for consideration of the BOA.
The aforesaid proposal came before the 73rd BoA meeting held on 9th November,
2016. The Board, after deliberations, observed that as per Rule 5(7) of SEZ Rules, 2006, the
developer or co-developer shall have to construct the minimum built up area (100000 sqmt.)
within a period of ten years from the date of notification of the SEZ in which at least fifty
percent of such area to be constructed within a period of five years from the date of
notification.” In instant case 10 years of SEZ notification has already been completed on
28.08.2016 and approx. 15000 sqm (1,65,000 sqft.) of built up area have been constructed in
the processing area of SEZ. However, the Developer has not completed 50% of construction
work even after lapse of 10 years.
DC NSEZ has informed that a notice dt. 02/01/17 had been issued to M/s Ansel IT
City and Parks Ltd. calling upon the developer to show cause as to why the LOA dt.
12
07/04/2006 granted for setting up sector specific SEZ in Techzone, Greater Nokia should not be cancelled and the SEZ de-notified for failure on their part to comply with Rule 5(7) of the SEZ Rules, 2006 resulting in non compliance with the terms and conditions of LOA. In turn, the developer had submitted its detailed reply dl. 18/01/2017 and subsequent letter dt. 03/03/2017 explaining the reasons for non completion of project and also submitted details of investment made so far, area wise and projected investment, source of funding and time frame as sought in the given by the DC to the developer on 13/02/17. The submissions made by the developer in its above referred two letters are summarized as under:
Plot No TZ-06 was registered on 10/02/2006 and SEZ was notified on 29/08/2006. However due to UPSEZ (Amended) Policy, 2007, a modification Lease Deed was executed on 11/02/2009 specifically laying down the land uses for development of the IT plot as an SEZ as per UPSEZ Policy 2007. Layout plan for the said plot was approved by GNIDA on 05/04/2013. In view of recognition of plot as 'SEZ Plot' by the state government & GNIDA, the compliance of SEZ Rule 5(7) should be applicable from the date of execution of modification deed Le. w.e.f. 11/02/2009.
Extremely remote location/complete absence of public transport system and major recession affected the IT Industry growth and expansion plan in NCR/India region badly affecting their SEZ project development plans during 2009-11. DOC allowed them time extension upto 28/08/2016 for construction of minimum built up area in terms of Rule 5(7) of the SEZ Rules, 2006. In spite of the area being remotely located without any transport system and adequate connectivity & having been prone to crime, they developed the entire plot area and completed the construction of Signature Tower in 2013 having built up area of 15000 sq.m. Besides, they are keen to develop additional 03 floors of roughly 10000 sq.m. in Signature Tower by mid of 2018 for which they have obtained in principle approval for Rs. 20 crores term loan from Fl and they expect sanction of this loan by April, 2017.
The period from 21/10/2011 to 24/08/2012 was declared as 'Zero Period' by UP Govt. in view of Farmers' agitation and stay/vacation orders by Hon'ble Court thereon which delayed the project for around 2 years. M/s Earth Iconic Infrastructure Pvt. Ltd, who was appointed to construct 50,000 sg.m built up area for the processing area has not built up any area and thus defaulted in construction of minimum built up area even after lapse of 3 years. There are serious complaints against the Co-Developer for violations of SEZ Rules and GNIDA has taken note of it. This failure and non-compliance of SEZ Rules on the part of Co- developer has also contributed in the delay to follow the timeline fixed by the DOC. The tripartite sub-lease deed executed with this codeveloper is under cancellation due to various acts of omission and commission committed by this co-developer. They have already constructed 1,61,400 sq.ft. built up area (15,000 sq,m) as on April 2014 and only 17,500 sq.ft. area has been leased out so far. Balance 1,43,900 sq.ft. area is lying vacant since April 2014. Two IT units namely Hanu Software Solutions Pvt, Ltd. and Vidya Mantra Edusystems Pvt Ltd. are functioning from the SEZ and another unit namely M/s Algolog Systems is also in the process to develop a plot of 2,000 sq.m.

Connectivity by proposed Metro service from Noida to Greater Noida upto Pari Chowk by the end of 2017 would help them attract more IT Companies leading to leasing out the vacant area. Their marketing team is making all out efforts for leasing out of space to prospective IT Companies. Upon receipt of extension of time line from DOC, they will complete 35,000 sq.m area in phase-I by December, 2019. It has been further mentioned that subleased area of 36,227.15 sq.m in favour of M/s Earth Iconic Infrastructure Pvt. Ltd. is likely to be returned back by the GNIDA as per their application for cancellation of the sub-lease with the co-developer which is under process. They would engage a new co-developer for completion of second phase construction. They have made an investment of Rs, 134.43 crores as on 31/01/2017, including Rs. 31.89 crores in the land lease premium. Balance area of 85,000 sq. m required to be constructed u/r 5(7) is proposed to be constructed in two phases - the first phase is targeted to be completed by December, 2019 and the second phase is likely to be completed by March, 2022. Estimated cost of construction of Rs. 160 crores would be funded by raising term loan from Fl, Promoters' contribution and internal project accrual by leasing of vacant built up area/plots.
In view of above, the Developer has given reasons for non-completion of minimum built up area of 100000 sq.m, details of investment made, projected investment, source of funding and tentative time schedule for completion of required minimum built up area.

lst Phase: Developer has constructed 15000 sq.m of 1st phase and remaining 35000 sq.m is proposed to be constructed by December, 2019.
2nd Phase: 50000 sq.m built up area is proposed to be constructed by the developer (Ansal IT City) or by a new co-developer upto March, 2022 only after the leased land in favour of M/s Earth Iconic Infrastructure Pvt. Ltd. is handed over back to developer.
DC NSEZ has recommended the following:-
(i) Suitable provision may be incorporated in SEZ Rules, empowering BOA for considering request of extension after 5 years, in case 50% of work is not completed and after 10 years, when 100% work is not completed.
(ii) This request may be considered after such enabling provision.
