No SEZ in Bihar
A SEZ may be set up either jointly or severally by the Central Government, State Government or any person for manufacture of goods or rendering services or for both or as a free trade warehousing zone. Such proposals duly recommended by the concerned State Government are considered by the Board of Approval for SEZs. No such proposal recommended by the Govt. of Bihar is pending with the Union Government.
The highest number of approvals and functioning SEZs are in Andhra Pradesh.
This information was given by Anand Sharma, Minister for Commerce, Industry and Textiles in written reply to a question in Rajya Sabha yesterday.
