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.
