The government on Tuesday
deferred a decision on a request from Mukesh Ambani-promoted Navi Mumbai
special economic zone (SEZ) for splitting itself into five zones, seeking more details from the developer.
The issue was taken up by the Board of Approval headed by Commerce Secretary Rahul Khullar at its meeting in the national capital.
"The issue will be looked into by a committee of officials," Khullar said after the meeting, adding the committee would seek details about the land and other issues.
Navi Mumbai SEZ Pvt Ltd, promoted by Ambani and his associate Anand Jain, has proposed to split its 1,233-hectare project into five separate
tax-free zones.
In its proposal, it had requested splitting of its tax-free enclave into five zones - a light engineering SEZ, two IT/ITES SEZs, a free-trade warehousing zone and a multi-product SEZ.
