Foreign Trade Policy - Import of Electrical Energy – Restricted – Not so simple?

We received this mail from a concerned Netizen.

Regarding your DDT today on the requirement of licence (ref 7/2009 dt 8.9.09) for import of electrical energy. The question is whether licence is required in the following situations

1. Sale of power by SEZ developer to units within the SEZ. (Please note purchase from another unit is treated as Import under SEZ Act)

2. Sale of power by SEZ developer to DTA?

3. Sale of power by EOU to DTA (deemed import)?

Foreign trade Act defines import as bringing goods into India .

Hence the notification is not as simple as it is thought to be. Please recall controversy on the export duty imposed on steel supply to SEZ?

Are we in for another shock?
