<h1>SEZ Board Approves New Zones, Extends Validity for Some; Defers or Rejects Non-Compliant Proposals in 47th Meeting.</h1> The 47th meeting of the SEZ Board of Approval, chaired by the Secretary of the Department of Commerce, reviewed proposals for establishing Special Economic Zones (SEZs) and related requests. Key decisions included granting formal and in-principle approvals for various SEZs, addressing co-developer requests, and considering proposals for authorized operations. The Board approved several requests for extensions of validity for SEZ approvals, while some proposals were deferred or rejected due to non-compliance with SEZ rules. Additionally, requests for de-notification and withdrawal of approvals were considered, with some granted and others deferred pending further information.
