Over 140 SEZ developers to get more time to complete projects: Nirmala Sitharaman

09 Feb 2017 Evaluate

Commerce and Industry Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said that during the last three years and the current fiscal up to January, the Board of Approval (BoA) has granted more time to 143 special economic zone (SEZ) developers across the country to complete their projects. She also said that some SEZs developers have sought additional time for the execution of their projects for various reasons including adverse business climate due to global recession, delay in approvals from statutory bodies and delay in environmental clearance.

Sitharaman highlighted that as many as 141 SEZs which have been approved are yet to be developed and 206 SEZs are operational as on December last year. She also noted that the maximum number of operational SEZs (units which have started exports) are in Tamil Nadu (36), Telangana (27) followed by Maharashtra (26), Karnataka (25) and Andhra Pradesh (19). She added that during April-December 2016, exports from these zones stood at Rs 3.58 lakh crore and it was Rs 4.67 lakh crore in 2015-16.

Also, these special economic zones are export hubs that account for about 23 per cent of the country's total exports. They enjoy certain tax and other benefits including exemptions from central sales tax, service tax and exemption from income tax for 15 years. Meanwhile, BoA is a 19-member inter-ministerial body headed by the commerce secretary.
