<h1>SEZs in India: Development Commissioners Gain Authority to Approve Sand and Soil Procurement for Infrastructure Projects.</h1> The circular addresses the domestic procurement of restricted items, specifically sand and soil, by developers and units within Special Economic Zones (SEZs) in India. It highlights that such supplies from the Domestic Tariff Area (DTA) to SEZs are considered exports under the SEZ Act, 2005, and typically require Board of Approval (BoA) consent. To expedite construction activities, the circular delegates authority to Development Commissioners (DCs) for approving these procurements, subject to certain conditions like environmental compliance and post-facto BoA ratification. The Board of Approval has agreed to permanently delegate this power to simplify the process, ensuring the materials are used for infrastructure development within SEZs.
