The Commerce Ministry will consider on August 11 five proposals for setting up SEZs, including those of Brooke Bond Real Estates and Deccan Infrastructure.
The 19-member inter-ministerial Board of Approval (BoA) headed by Commerce Secretary Rahul Khullar may also give formal approval to 25 developers who have been given more time to execute their projects.
The Board would also take a decision on requests of Lanco Solar and Cochin Airport International to set up special economic zones (SEZs), a source said.
Brooke Bond Real Estates plans to set up an IT\ITeS SEZ over 11 hectare in Karnataka, while Deccan Infrastructure has moved the BoA for permission to develop two tax-free zones in Andhra Pradesh.
The developers, including Ansal SEZ in Gurgaon (Haryana), Ranbaxy Laboratories in Mohali (Punjab) and Maytas Enterprises in Ranga Reddy (Andhra Pradesh), who have been given one-year additional time to go ahead with their projects, may get formal approval for the extension, sources said.
Two developers - Maytas Ventures and Sanvo Resorts - have requested the BoA to de-notify their projects.
So far 576 formal approvals have been given for setting up SEZs, of which 319 have been notified. Exports from SEZs grew by 36 per cent to Rs 90,416 crore in 2008-09.
