Registeration under Project Import

[Arti Gupta]

Sir/Madame,

We are a large manufacturing company.Our different units are located across India and we Import our raw material and components through different ports across India.

I would like to know the legal position regarding registering a project at different ports for the import of the raw materials and components.For example our Unit A want to register a Project X at Mumbai Port and our Unit B want to register the same project X at Chennai Port separately; is it possible?If yes,kindly quote any judgment or legal provisions.

Thanks in advance.
