Instruction No. 30, dated August, 2009
I am directed to inform you that Empowered Group of Ministers in its meeting dated 24th October, 2008 had approved development guidelines to be followed in respect of operations in the non-processing area of the SEZs.
2. As per the decision, the Board of Approval while approving infrastructure within each category in the non-processing area of the SEZ will approve individual items on a case by case basis, depending upon the area of the SEZ, distribution of the area between processing and non-processing area, available FAR, projected employee population, location of SEZ and other relevant factors. The items approved in each category will be subject to the notification dated 27.10.2006 on authorised operations in the SEZ. However, approval for each category as a whole will be subject to the overall ceiling as indicated by DDA. The overall ceiling in each category will be revised upwards in proportion with the available FAR and area. However, the actual setting up of facilities will be circumscribed by the local town planning norms. As an internal safeguard, construction could be allowed in a phased manner, wherever possible, linked with actual level of activities generated in the processing area.
3. The development norms as indicated by DDA are enclosed at Annexure for your compliance please. These norms are indicative norms. For higher quantums, BOA will decide on case to case basis. Further for authorised operations on which norms are not fixed, BOA will decide. The Developer is to get the Master plan approved from the local bodies for the indicative social structure before commencing construction.
