Special economic zone designation confirms Cochin SEZ boundaries, area and constituent survey numbers under central excise powers. The central government, invoking the proviso to section 3(1) of the Central Excise Act, 1944, specifies Cochin Special Economic Zone as a special economic zone, superseding Notification No. 14/2001-CE(NT). The notification fixes the zone's location in Thrikkakara South, Ernakulam district, Kerala, records the area as 42.4504 hectares, lists all constituent survey numbers (including later additions), and describes the masonry compound wall, barbed wire fencing, perimeter measurements and external boundary roads.
