<h1>SEZ Board Approves New IT/ITES Zones in India, Discusses Plastic Recycling Policy and Co-Developer Status Requests.</h1> The 52nd meeting of the SEZ Board of Approval took place on March 30, 2012, to evaluate proposals for establishing Special Economic Zones (SEZs) and other related requests. The Board granted formal approvals for several IT/ITES sector-specific SEZs in Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka, and Kerala. Certain proposals were deferred due to pending land possession or lease agreements. The Board also addressed requests for co-developer status, extensions of approvals, and appeals related to SEZ operations. Additionally, a draft policy on plastic recycling units in SEZs was discussed, with validity extensions granted pending policy finalization.
