Centre nod for 21 SEZs in AP

Ganesh S Lakshman | TNN | Oct 11, 2006, 02:23 IST

HYDERABAD: In a clear message that Andhra Pradesh is first among equals, the Board of Approvals of the Union Commerce ministry on Tuesday cleared 21 of the 31 proposals for Special Economic Zone (SEZ) that the Congress-ruled state had put forth. On the other hand, only nine of the 40 proposals sent by Karnataka, one of the five proposed by Kerala and one of the two sought by Chhattisgarh were cleared. With these clearances, AP would have the highest number of SEZs for any state in the country.

Of the 21 SEZs cleared at the meeting held in New Delhi, 12 are from IT and IT-enabled Services (ITeS), two from pharma sector and one each from auto components, apparel, leather, multi-product, building products, formulation industry and services sector. While 16 SEZs were accorded formal approval, the other five were approved in principle.

The largest of these is a multi-product SEZ measuring 1,000 hectares being developed by Rassai Properties & Industries Ltd in Parigi in Hindupur in Anantapur. 15 most beautiful women in the worldCrazyFreelancer
