Power Generation in SEZs
AS DDT readers might remember (DDT 2572 - 07 04 2015) the Department of Commerce had withdrawn the 2012 guidelines and brought back the 2009 guidelines on power generation in SEZs.
The Department now clarifies that henceforth setting up of power plants shall be allowed only in the Non-Processing Area of SEZs. Further, those power plants which are presently situated in Processing Areas of SEZs, shall be demarcated as Non-Processing Areas and no operation and maintenance (O&M) benefits will now be available for such power plants.
