Phase-out of plastic recycling units in SEZs upheld, licence renewal denied to protect environmental and export policy objectives. The Board refused renewal of the LoA for plastic waste and scrap recycling in Kandla SEZ, citing environmental concerns, prior policy to phase out such units, misuse of SEZ rules to channel goods to DTA and the ban on import of solid plastic waste in the DTA; renewal would set an adverse precedent. The BoA also disposed of multiple appeals: penalty matters held final, time-barred revalidation directed to submit revised business plan, SEEPZ LoA cancellations upheld for structural and procedural deficiencies, various proposal rejections for misleading information or being outside authorized SEZ activities, and some matters referred for consultation with DGFT or further departmental approvals.
