SEZ approvals: conditional extensions, co developer authorisations and area changes emphasising land contiguity and compliance. The Board of Approval addressed ratification of prior minutes, monitored pending proceedings against a director linked to a developer, and processed requests under the SEZ Rules for extensions of LoAs, co developer approvals, setting up and expansion of SEZs, area additions, cancellations and sector reclassification. Extensions and area increases were conditioned on land contiguity and compliance; co developer approvals required execution of agreements and adherence to SEZ Act and Rules and tax/customs observations. A tobacco manufacturing industrial licence within an SEZ was authorised subject to technology, pollution, indigenous input and export only conditions.
