Executive Summary
To provide a stable economic environment for the promotion of Export‐import of goods in a quick,
efficient and hassle‐free manner, Government of India enacted the SEZ Act, which received the assent of
the President of India on June 23, 2005. The SEZ Act and the SEZ Rules, 2006 (“SEZ Rules”) were notified
on February 10, 2006. The SEZ Act is expected to give a big thrust to exports and consequently to the
foreign direct investment (“FDI”) inflows into India, and is considered to be one of the finest pieces of
legislation that may well represent the future of the industrial development strategy in India. The new
law is aimed at encouraging public‐private partnership to develop world‐class infrastructure and attract
private investment (domestic and foreign), boosting economic growth, exports and employment.
The SEZ Act has encouraged many companies to undertake setting up of various SEZs all over India. The
incentives and benefits provided to SEZs have attracted even those companies which are not into
developing field. Being new to real estates, they have come up with their SEZs in Joint Venture with well
established companies that have experience in the field. For example, Luxor is coming up with its SEZ in
Joint Venture with Uppal Developers Pvt. Ltd.; Shreeaumji Developers Pvt. Ltd. is in Joint Venture with
Unitech Group, Jai Bharat Maruti and Minda Industries, Reliance Industries Ltd. with Reliance Haryana
SEZ Pvt. Ltd. as its Special Purpose Vehicle.
The study consisted of primary and secondary data. At first, secondary data was taken from internet like
the list of companies, the size and location of SEZs, contact details etc. Then a survey of the companies
was undertaken wherein primary information of the companies was extracted after visiting the
companies and personally interviewing the executives. Once the data was collected, then the analysis
was done.
The result found was that DLF, Emaar MGF, Reliance are the major competitors, as Reliance coming up
with largest SEZ, DLF is coming up with the second Largest SEZ and Emaar with 3 Multi‐Product SEZ in
Gurgaon. Also, those many company’s SEZs are touching KMP highway for connectivity, starting from
Kundli with Unitech’s SEZ and ending at Palwal with D.S. Construction’s SEZ.

Introduction

What is SEZ (Special Economic Zone)?
A Special Economic Zone (SEZ) is a region that has economic laws that are more liberal than a country's
typical economic laws. Usually the goal is an increase in foreign investment.
Special economic zone is a particular area inside a state which acts as foreign territory for tariff and
trade operations. Govt. provides tax exemption (IT, Excise, customs, sales etc.), subsidized water and
electricity etc.
Special Economic Zones have been established in several countries, including India, Iran, Jordan, Poland,
Kazakhstan, Philippines, Russia, and Ukraine. North Korea has also attempted this to a degree, but
failed. Puno, Peru has been slated to become a "Zona Ecomomica". In the United States, SEZ are
referred to as "Urban Enterprise Zones".

SEZ can be sector specific or multi product SEZ. It helps in the development of infrastructure of the area
around the SEZ, provides employment to people, and makes the exports more viable. All this will help
the country's products to become more competitive visa‐a‐versa providing all round development of
region.

It should be noted that if 100 acres are allotted for SEZ, then only 50% of area is used for setting up
plants rest of the area is used to provide housing facilities, malls, multiplexes etc. also known as non‐
processing Zone. Also Tax exemption is for specific period say for 10 yrs or so.

World’s first SEZ
The Shannon Concept
Innovative Developments at Shannon that contributed to national development include:

Promotion of FDI: Shannon was the first gateway for the entry of export based foreign direct
investment into Ireland. The positive experience of investors at Shannon led to additional FDI
throughout the national economy. Today Shannon is still the largest single site concentration of foreign
investment in Ireland.

Promotion of International Financial/ IT Services: Shannon Development led the way in the 1960’s in
promoting international financial and IT services. The success of these activities at Shannon was
observed by others in Ireland and overseas. The Dublin International Financial Services Centre, a kind of
financial services free zone was established in 1987. It has been judged an outstanding success. IDA
assisted international IT and financial services projects now employ upwards of 30,000 people.

Training Needs and Facilities: There was close co‐operation from the outset between Shannon
Development and the new investors. Needs included an industrial training centre to train workers in
semi skilled tasks and develop supervisory skills. A new training centre was established within the Free
Zone. Later this led to the establishment of a national industrial training authority with Shannon
Development’s chief executive as its first chairman.

Industrial Parks: The Shannon free zone was Ireland’s first industrial park and the experience was later
applied in other population centers throughout the country.

Technology Development: To attract high quality investment the need for a strong technologically
oriented university, was recognized. The University Of Limerick, Ireland’s first technological university,
was established in 1973. Shannon’s chief executive became its first chairman and to forge closer links
between the RDA and the university, the university president was appointed to the board of Shannon
Development. In 1980 one of the first Innovation Centers in Europe was developed adjacent to the
university campus.

National Technology Park and the Regional Knowledge Network: In 1984 Shannon Development in
partnership with the university established the country’s first technology park on a 120ha site adjoining
the campus. This Concept has now been extended to create a knowledge network of five smaller
technology parks and centers in peripheral locations throughout the region.

Other Business Infrastructure: Over the years Shannon Development led the way in Ireland in
developing other forms of business infrastructure to cater for the diverse needs of a growing number of
Irish entrepreneurs. Initiatives included small industry estates; an enterprise centre network; innovation
centers; business incubator units and a specialized food industry centre.

Tourism: Shannon Development led the way in the 1960s in developing and marketing heritage based
tourism attractions such as medieval castle banquets and folk parks. In order to promote economic
activity and spread the benefits of tourism to isolated rural areas, it developed the rent an Irish cottage
scheme. Shannon Development continues to develop innovative tourist attractions in areas of the
Shannon Region outside the influence of the major industrial centres. In recent years EU structural funds
have been used creatively to develop new tourist products such as Kilrush Creek Marina, the Tralee
Tourism cluster, Doonbeg Link’s golf course, Limerick Heritage precinct and others.

Regional Planning and Development: The airport, free zone, and various tourism initiatives had a major
impact on the surrounding Shannon Region. The Irish government in 1968 took the logical step of
extending Shannon Development’s mandate to include the wider Shannon Region. Thus Shannon
Development became Ireland’s first regional development agency. It produced the country’s first
regional industrial development plan in 1969. This acted as a model for similar plans in other Regions.

Rural Development: Shannon Development’s regional responsibility led naturally to an interest in the
development of rural areas. It used, and continues to use today, its tourism development and marketing
expertise to promote rural development.

Shannon Impact in other parts of the Globe

From the mid 1960’s onwards developments at Shannon attracted the interest of the wider world.

Duty Free Shops: The Shannon duty free shop concept has been replicated many times throughout the
world. Most of the highly successful Middle East shop and those in Russia and the former Soviet Union
benefited from Shannon consultancy advice and management expertise.

Free Zones: The Shannon free zone model has been used in many parts of the world. Taiwan (1965),
Malaysia (1971), Egypt (1976), Mauritius (1978), and Sri Lanka (1978) were among the first group of
successful zones to benefit from Shannon advice and consultancy inputs. In the last 25 years upwards of
50 countries world‐wide have been assisted.

9

Special Economic Zones: The Chinese SEZ is the corner stone of the Chinese economic miracle for the
last 25 years. The Chinese SEZ concept was developed following a visit to Shannon by a group of Chinese
officials in 1976. When they returned to China they related their Shannon experience to Deng Xiao Ping.
The discussion that followed led to the establishment of the first Chinese SEZ in 1978.

SEZ in India
Considering the need to enhance foreign investment and promote exports from the country and
realizing the need for a platform must be made available to the domestic enterprises and manufacturers
to be competitive globally. The Government of India in April 2000 announced the introduction of Special
Economic Zones policy in the country, deemed to be foreign territory for the purposes of trade
operations, duties and tariffs. As of 2007, more than 500 SEZs have been proposed.
Gujarat coast is Kandla, where the first SEZ in India was set up in 1965 called an export processing zone,
or EPZ. Coming seven years after the world's first SEZ at Shannon in Ireland, it was the first of its kind in
Asia. But 40 years on, Kandla and the seven other state‐run EPZs‐turned‐SEZs in India have failed to live
up to their promise. Experts say the principal reason for this sorry state of affairs is inadequate
infrastructure.
With a view to overcome the shortcomings experienced on account of the multiplicity of controls and
clearances, absence of world‐class infrastructure, and an unstable fiscal regime and with a view to
attract larger foreign investments in India, the Special Economic Zones (SEZs) Policy was announced in
April 2000. SEZs in India functioned from 1.11.2000 to 09.02.2006 under the provisions of the Foreign
Trade Policy and fiscal incentives were made effective through the provisions of relevant statutes. To
instill confidence in investors and signal the Government's commitment to a stable SEZ policy regime
and with a view to impart stability to the SEZ regime thereby generating greater economic activity and
employment through the establishment of SEZs, a comprehensive draft SEZ Bill prepared after extensive
discussions with the stakeholders. A number of meetings were held in various parts of the country both
by the Minister for Commerce and Industry as well as senior officials for this purpose. The Special
Economic Zones Act, 2005, was passed by Parliament in May, 2005 which received Presidential assent
on the 23rd of June, 2005. The draft SEZ Rules were widely discussed and put on the website of the
Department of Commerce offering suggestions/comments. Around 800 suggestions were received on
the draft rules. After extensive consultations, the SEZ Act, 2005, supported by SEZ Rules, came into
effect on 10th February, 2006, providing for drastic simplification of procedures and for single window
clearance on matters relating to central as well as state governments. The main objectives of the SEZ Act
are:
(a) Generation of additional economic activity
(b) Promotion of exports of goods and services;
(c) Promotion of investment from domestic and foreign sources;
(d) Creation of employment opportunities;
(e) Development of infrastructure facilities;

11

The SEZ Rules provide for different minimum land requirement for different class of SEZs. Every SEZ is
divided into a processing area where alone the SEZ units would come up and the non‐processing area
where the supporting infrastructure is to be created.
The SEZ Rules provide for:
a) Simplified procedures for development, operation, and maintenance of the Special Economic
Zones and for setting up units and conducting business in SEZs;
b) Single window clearance for setting up of an SEZ;
c) Single window clearance for setting up a unit in a Special Economic Zone;
d) Single Window clearance on matters relating to Central as well as State Governments;
e) Simplified compliance procedures and documentation with an emphasis on self certification
Note: FAQs SEZ see the appendix below
Many people in India think that setting up many Special Economic Zones (SEZs) is the best solution for
India for attracting foreign investment. India is trying desperately to attract foreign investment so it can
create thousands of new jobs. For doing so, India needs to develop infrastructure and SEZ seems to be
the best answer in this regard. The supporters of the concept of SEZ argue that since India cannot afford
to invest a huge amount of money to develop the infrastructure of the whole India, SEZ is the only viable
option. They also argue that SEZs are free of the negative aspects of Indian bureaucracy. They feel that if
India wants to match Chinese economic development then there is no alternative to setting up SEZs and
attract local and foreign investment.
Not everyone is happy with these arguments. Those who are against it argue that giving tax breaks to
SEZs is not a good idea. They are also against acquisition of fertile agricultural land as it will make many
farmers landless.
It’s clear that government lacks in long term funds which could be better used for infrastructure
development of the country, so instead of being a silent spectator, it’s better to encouraging private
investment, which is the novel way to utilize the resources of the country. Tax incentives are the most
ulcerative way to attract the private players. Proper policy towards SEZ's with due care being taken for
poor farmers will definitely help India to achieve its economic goal.
The following are the disadvantages of an SEZ:
1. If built on agricultural land the farmers will loose their livelihood as they are not skilled laborers
it would to tough to relocate them to other jobs.
2. Since the companies that operate under SEZ enjoy a lot of tax holidays it would create a burden
on the finance ministry as tax collected would be less.
12

3. It could create socio‐economic disparities as the SEZ would accommodate the high and mighty
the poor people will be pushed towards poverty and unemployment.
Approval mechanism and Administrative set up of SEZs
(a) Approval mechanism:
The developer submits a proposal for establishment of SEZ to the concerned State Government. The
State Government has to forward the proposal with its recommendation within 45 days from the date of
receipt of such proposal to the Board of Approval. The applicant also has the option to submit the
proposal directly to the Board of Approval.
The Board of Approval has been constituted by the Central Government in exercise of the powers
conferred under the SEZ Act. All the decisions are taken in the Board of Approval by consensus. The
Board of Approval has 19 Members. Its constitution is as follows:
(b) Administrative set up:
The functioning of the SEZs is governed by a three tier administrative set up. The Board of Approval is
the apex body and is headed by the Secretary, Department of Commerce. The Approval Committee at
the Zone level deals with approval of units in the SEZs and other related issues. Each Zone is headed by a
Development Commissioner, who is ex‐officio chairperson of the Approval Committee.
Once an SEZ has been approved by the Board of Approval and Central Government has notified the area
of the SEZ, units are allowed to be set up in the SEZ. All the proposals for setting up of units in the SEZ
are approved at the Zone level by the Approval Committee consisting of Development Commissioner,
Customs Authorities and representatives of State Government. All post approval clearances including
grant of importer‐exporter code number, change in the name of the company or implementing agency;
broad banding diversification, etc. are given at the Zone level by the Development Commissioner. The
performance of the SEZ units is periodically monitored by the Approval Committee and units are liable
for penal action under the provision of Foreign Trade (Development and Regulation) Act, in case of
violation of the conditions of the approval.

Incentives and Benefits
Besides providing state‐of‐the‐art infrastructure and access to a large well‐trained and skilled work
force, the SEZ policy also provides enterprises and developers with a favorable and attractive framework
of incentives:
• 100% income tax exemption for a block of five years and an additional 50% tax exemption for
two years thereafter
• 100% FDI in the manufacturing sector permitted through automatic route, barring a few
sectors.
• External commercial borrowings by SEZ units up to US$500 million in a year without any
maturity restrictions through recognized banking channels.
• Facility to retain 100% foreign exchange receipts in Exchange Earners’ Foreign Currency
Account.
• 100% FDI permitted to SEZ franchisee in providing basic telephone services in SEZs.
• No cap on foreign investment for small scale sector reserved items.
• Exemption from industrial licensing requirements for items reserved for the SSI sector.
• No import license requirements
• Exemption from customs duties on import of capital goods, raw materials, consumables,
spares etc
• Exemption from Central Excise duties on procurement of capital goods, raw materials,
consumable spares etc., from the domestic market.
• No routine examinations by Customs for export and import cargo.
• Facility to realize and repatriate export proceeds within 12 months.
• Profits allowed to be repatriated without any dividend‐balancing requirement.
• Job work on behalf of domestic exporters for direct export allowed.
14

• Subcontracting both domestic and international is permitted; this facility is available to
jewellery units as well.
• Exemption from Central Sales Tax and Service Tax
• Facilities to set up off‐shore banking units in SEZs.
Incentives to Developers
• Exemption from duties on import /procurement of goods for the development, operation and
maintenance of SEZ.
• Income tax exemption for a block of 10 years in 15 years.
• Exemption from Service Tax
• FDI to develop townships within SEZs with residential, educational, health care and
recreational facilities permitted on a case‐to‐case basis.

The SEZ policy is special in many ways:
• The range of permissible economic activities is vast since it covers trading, reconditioning,
labeling/ repacking, etc.
• Under the Union Government’s policy, businesses will operate under a high quality policy and
business friendly regulatory environment free from hassles.
• The SEZ will provide high quality, world‐class infrastructure designed to render costs of
production, delivery, logistics and transactions competitive on a global basis.
• The size of the SEZ would be large enough to attract private participation in building
infrastructure.
• While the SEZ will be insulated from the domestic tariff area in so far as negative influences are
concerned, SEZ units will nonetheless get the much sought after access to domestic markets.
SEZ provides for unrestricted access to domestic markets (with payment of relevant duties on
imports and outputs).
• Units in the SEZ will get 100% tax break/ holiday for first five years and 50% thereafter for the
next five years and also for a further period of five years. 100% foreign ownership is
automatically cleared in the manufacturing sector.
• ‘Export‐ oriented’ economic activities only are permitted (NFE over a five year must be positive)
15

• While development of the SEZ scheme is under the Union Government, States have a key role
in organizing the administration of the SEZs. Further, it is envisaged that the private sector
could play an important role in building and managing the SEZ facilities.

Although the Special economic Zones offer a plethora of benefits in terms of the tax exemptions and
export promotion incentives, there are other requirements that are important.
SEZs need to be treated as complete Islands of self containing world class infrastructure that is fully
connected to the rest of the world and provides for all the infrastructural requirements as is provided in
any First World Country. And these factors need to be an inherent part of the infrastructure of the SEZ.
Leaving this to be a provided by either the State or the Central Government would put the clog in the
wheel of the development of a State of the Art Facility.
SEZ Approval Status

Consequent upon the SEZ Rules coming into effect w.e.f. 10th February, 2006, nine meetings of the
Board of Approvals have since been held. In recent months, the SEZ rush had dried up with only around
25 applications having being received since April 6. While government has granted final approvals to 339
proposals, other 120‐odd zones have received first‐stage clearance, where land needs to be acquired,
and leaving only around 40 proposals pending. There is another set of 225 applications which are
expected to be rejected since the state government has not supported the proposals. 126 SEZs have
been notified till date.

Land requirements for approved SEZs

The total land requirement for the (approx) 300 formal approvals granted till date is (approx) 40000
hectares out of which about 60 approvals are for State Industrial Development Corporations/State
Government Ventures which account for over 17800 hectares. In these cases, the land already available
with the State Governments or SIDCs or with private companies has been utilized for setting up SEZ. The
land for the 63 notified SEZs where operations have since commenced involved is 8051.56 hectares only.
Out of the total land area of 2973190 sq km in India, total agricultural land is 1534166 sq km (51.6%). It
is interesting to note that out of this total land area, the land in possession of the 63 SEZs notified
16

amounts to approximately 67 sq km only. The approximately 300 formal approvals will also cover only
around 450 sq km.

Benefits derived from SEZs
Benefits derived from SEZs are evident from the investment, employment, exports and infrastructural
developments additionally generated. Investment of the order of Rs.100, 000 crores including FDI of US
$ 5 ‐ 6 billion is expected by the end of December 2007. 500,000 direct jobs are expected to be created
by December 2007. The benefits derived from multiplier effect of the investments and additional
economic activity in the SEZs and the employment generated thus will far outweigh the tax exemptions
and the losses on account of land acquisition. Stability in fiscal concession is absolutely essential to
ensure credibility of Government intensions.
(a) Exports from the functioning SEZs during the last three years are as under:
Year Exports(Rs. crores) Growth Rate of exports
2003‐2004 13,854(US$ 2996 million) 39%
2004‐2005 18,314(US$ 4075 million) 32%
2005‐2006 22840(US$ 5078 million) 24.71%
Projected exports from all SEZs (82) for 2007‐08: Rs. 67300 crores
(b) At present,
1016 units are in operation in the SEZs, providing direct employment to over 1.79 lakh persons; about
40% of whom are women. Private investment by entrepreneurs in the SEZs established prior to the SEZ
Act is of the order of over Rs. 4400 crores. In the 63 notified SEZs which have come up after 10th
February 06, investment of Rs. 13,435 crores has already been made in less than one year. These SEZs
have so far provided direct employment to 18,457 persons.
17

Special Economic Zones of China
The word "special" mainly means special economic systems and policies. In the China, the central
government gives SEZs special policies and flexible measures, allowing SEZs to utilize a special economic
management system.
1. Special tax incentives
2. Greater independence on international trade activities.
3. Economic characteristics are represented as "4 principles":
1. Construction primarily relies on attracting and utilising foreign capital
2. Primary economic firms are sino‐foreign joint ventures and partnerships as well as
wholly foreign‐owned enterprises
3. Products are primarily export‐oriented
4. Economic activities are primarily driven by market
SEZ are listed separately in the national planning (including financial planning) and have province‐level
authority on economic administration. SEZs local congress and government have legislation authority.
18

Objectives and rationale of the
Project

Analyzing the Scenario of SEZs in Haryana:
There is a very big market of SEZ is emerging. Many
companies are coming up with their SEZs in Haryana.
Therefore, we wanted to know what these companies

are doing, what is their business model for next couple
of years, current scenario of the companies, what type
of SEZs are they coming up with, what are the sizes of
the SEZs, how many SEZs a company is coming up with,
what is the location of SEZs etc.
Thus, the project aims at analyzing the scenario of SEZs
coming up in Haryana.

just a 30‐minute drive from the International Airport and 10 minutes away from the NH 8. Furthermore,
it is situated in close proximity to plush residential complexes and malls of Sohna road. The strategic
location of the project has been already taken hand‐in‐hand by the global IT majors. They even placed
their SEZ in Gurgaon because of IT hub and they believe in Gurgaon bulk orders are received.
Assotech believes Uppal Developer Pvt. Ltd. to be their major Competitor because Uppal is also coming
up with and IT/ITES SEZ in Gurgaon which is already notified and Assotech is still waiting for their
notification. Professionally managed company, experience, modern techniques and technology for
infrastructure are few strength of Assotech which they believe makes them ahead of their competitors.

DLF Limited

The DLF Group has charted it next growth steps to retain its leadership position in India. Already a major
player in locations across the country, including key metro cities and urban centers, DLF, with over Six
decades of experience, is focusing on strengthening its lateral and vertical business drivers.
The group is capitalizing on emerging market opportunities to deliver high‐end facilities and projects to
its wide base of customers by constantly upgrading its internal skills and resource capabilities.
The DLF Group has made significant progress in pursuing new business opportunities in hotel,
infrastructure and SEZs (Special Economic Zones). DLF and Laing O’Rourke, UK is the strategic partner in
several infrastructure projects. Laing O’Rourke are global leaders in construction credited with landmark
projects such as the Dubai International Airport, Millennium Tower and the T‐5 Airport Terminal in UK.
Through this joint venture (JV) the Group plans construction of projects in the sectors of expressways and
airports.
DLF believes that the following are its primary competitive strengths:
• Brand name and reputation
• Extensive land reserves
• Scale of operations
• Strategic locations
• A tradition of innovation
• Experienced and dedicated management
DLF Universal(SPV), has chalked out plans to invest anywhere between US$ 6.7 billion‐US$ 8.9 billion
over the next ten years for setting up at least half‐a‐dozen Special Economic Zones across the country.
DLF India has proposed SEZ in many parts in India like Amritsar, Ludhiana, Gurgaon and Ambala. Broadly
speaking, DLF SEZs have targeted the IT Sector; however, DLF Townships have been on the agenda of DLF
Universal.
DLF is coming up with around 6 SEZs in Haryana of which four are single product and two are multi
product. The entire four single product SEZs are on IT/ITES domain with 2 of them have been notified and
land for all the SEZ have been acquired or you may say the land was already present in their land bank.
35

Single Product IT/ITES SEZs
DLF is coming up with its four IT/ITES SEZs in Gurgaon, of which two have been notified (30.15 Acre, Ph‐
1 Gurgaon and 26.825 Acre, Gurgaon SEZs). For other two In‐principal and Formal approval has been
taken and waiting for notification. The land acquisition was not big task for DLF as, requirement was
small and they were already having a land bank.
DLF Believes Wipro and Infosys would be their major competitors for IT/ITES SEZs as they are well
established IT firms and are having good contacts with a large no. of IT companies. Therefore, it could
pose a threat for DLF.
To attract clients for their SEZs the strategy would be like, going for public offering so that anyone can
buy a place in the SEZs. The company might even take help of some other firms which would help them
earn clients.
They are ready with their Master plan and working on its approval. After which they would be starting
with the construction work, do project monitoring analysis, planning etc. Construction will be done by a
U.K. based construction company, Laing O’Rourke. For the next one year they would be working over
infrastructure.
Multi Product SEZs
DLF Universal is having a Joint Venture with HSIIDC (Haryana State Industrial and Infrastructural
Development Corporation) for both of its Multi Product SEZs.
The Multi Product SEZ at Gurgaon is being developed by DLF Limited over an area of about 20000 acres
on Gurgaon – Jaipur Highway stretching between Manesar & Pataudi. The project cost of this SEZ has
been estimated at Rs.26000 crore which is proposed to be financed through an equity funding through
internal accruals of DLF and its Group companies and loans from infrastructure funding institutions and
international banks.
A 2500 acres SEZ is also being set up by DLF in District Ambala with a capital cost of Rs.6700 crore. This is
the first SEZ proposal approved by the HIPB outside the National Capital Region (NCR). The project is
scheduled to be implemented in two phases to be completed in eight years. When implemented, the
Ambala SEZ is likely to attract an investment of around Rs.4000 crore besides exporting goods worth
Rs.6000 crore annually. A captive power plant has also been envisaged for the project which is expected
to provide direct employment for more than 80,000 persons.
36

The DLF 20,000 Acre project which has received “in‐principle approval” of the Central government is
proposed to be set up on both sides of (Gurgaon‐Jaipur) National Highway 8, bisecting the proposed
Kundli‐Manesar‐Palwal (KMP) Expressway. The proposed DLF SEZ will be developed in four phases. The
first phase of 500 acres is expected to be completed by 2009 and the final phase by 2018.
The company expects that the SEZ will attract an investment of Rs 1, 24,000 crore in terms of fixed assets
like industrial, commercial and residential stock. The annual export potential of the project has been
pegged at $10‐12 billion once it is fully operational.
The company also proposes to demarcate a “free trade zone” within the processing area of the SEZ,
which would lay emphasis on trading of goods and commodities manufactured within the SEZ, their
packaging/ repackaging/ exhibition and the service sector, including BPOs, IT and ITES companies.
DLF will also develop a 20 million square feet of built‐up infrastructure, which would include business
centres, Logistics Park, warehouses and hotels.
Almost 10,000 acres will be developed solely as residential zone, providing all categories of houses for
people working in the SEZ. DLF will also develop about 2,000 to 3,000 acres as institutional area,
providing educational, healthcare and research infrastructure.
DLF also proposes to set up a gas‐based captive power plant of 2,000 MW capacity at a cost of Rs 6,000
crore.
According to cautious company estimates, the land cost for the project will work out to Rs 10,000 crore.
The development cost has been estimated at Rs 6,142 crore, the cost for readily built infrastructure at
Rs 2,625 and the cost of project management at Rs 938 crore.
Faced with the new rule on special economic zones (SEZs) that limits the maximum area to 5,000
hectares, real estate major DLF may split its proposed mega zone in Haryana into two tax‐free enclaves
in the region. DLF just had started the process of acquiring land. Now, there will be one SEZ of 5,000
hectare but if they get more land, they may set up another SEZ of 3,000 hectare in Gurgaon.
DLF finds Reliance as their major competitor for the 20000 Acre SEZ which is close to the Reliance 25000
Acre SEZ at Jhajjar ‐ Gurgaon. Suncity, according to them is also a competitor for their 2500 Acre SEZ in
Gurgaon as Suncity is also coming up with around 8000 Acre SEZ at Ambala, Haryana.
To attract clients for their SEZs the strategy would be like, going for public offering so that anyone can
buy a place in the SEZs. The company might even take help of some other firms which would help them
earn clients.
37

The land acquisition process is being carried on along with the designing of the Master plan. After this
they would be working on the construction part, doing project monitoring analysis, planning etc.
Construction will be done by a U.K. based construction company, Laing O’Rourke. For the next one year
they would be working over infrastructure.

Suzhou in China.
SEZ in Palwal, Haryana
The SEZ in Haryana will cover an area of 5,000 hectares (12,500 acres) and shall be developed in phases.
The land use plan of the zone being prepared in consultation with internationally reputed consultants
will adhere to various regulatory norms under the provisions of the SEZ Act 2005 and SEZ Rules 2006.
The planning and development norms would be comparable to the best in the world and shall provide
for open spaces, green areas, internal / arterial roads and walkways and well‐supported by in‐zone
utilities and facilities.
The SEZ shall attract and host a number of units in the manufacturing sector such as Auto Components,
Engineering Goods, Pharmaceuticals, Processed Foods, Electrical and Electronic Goods, Readymade
Garments, Gems and Jewellery, Sports Goods, Handicrafts and service sectors such as IT enabled

39

1 lakh people and shall go a long way in upgrading the socio‐economic conditions of the populace in the
surrounding region.
The company plans to dedicate 60 per cent of the area for industrial, residential and also commercial

purposes whereas rest would be utilising for developing infrastructure.

Electronic goods, Garments, Value addition processing units, Gems and jewellery, toys and sports goods,
Handicrafts and Trade and Business Enabling Industries.
It plans to build up residential and housing facilities in 3,750 acres whereas 375 acres shall be allocated
for Commercial purposes while the remaining 5,000 acres shall be allocated for service areas and
infrastructure, such as open spaces, green areas, roads and walkways, public utilities, administration
blocks and inland container depot etc.
The farmers of the SEZ area would not be in any loss as the company had decided to spend 25 per cent
of its total cost of the project which comes to INR 2,500 crore for land acquisition and INR 4,750 Crores
on developmental activities. The remaining INR 2,750 crore would be utilised for other related areas.

The project would be completed over a period of ten years in two phases and 35 per cent construction
would be undertaken in the first year of its construction.
Till date approximately 30‐40% of land has been acquired by the company. The company is not taking
any help of the government for acquiring land. It is purchasing the land directly from the farmers
utilizing all of its resources. DSCL considers that their brand name and their money power is their major
strength. They focus on providing a comfortable environment to their clients. Reliance Industries Ltd. is
their major competitor as told by the executive, DSCL.

the Notification as full 100% land has been acquired. They believe that they won’t be facing any
competition as by 2009 STPI norm is going to end due to which all the companies won’t be able to utilize
the Tax benefits. This will make IT companies to opt for SEZs because of several incentives and tax
benefits. Parsvnath so believe that early move advantage, brand name and experience in developing

Raheja Haryana SEZ Developers Pvt. Ltd is coming up with a single product SEZ in Electronic Hardware &
Software including ITES SEZ in Ghatta, Gurgaon. The area of this single product SEZ is 330 acres which
has been acquired fully. The group is expecting the notification in a short time. As soon as they get the
notification, the construction work will begin.
The facilities provided in the SEZ would be housing for the workers, hotels, recreational activities etc.
The power and water supply will be taken by the government.
As Gurgaon is developing as IT hub, therefore Raheja selected Gurgaon in NCR for the construction of IT
SEZ. In their view, the supply of IT services will be not adequate to fulfill the demand in future.
Competition is bound to be there. Therefore, they think DLF Limited and all up coming small companies
will give them competition.
Location of the land and the strategy to make farmers their partners are strengths of the group.
According to Raheja’s, if the farmers will have faith in the company and if they’ll remain satisfied then
the company will not be having any problem in acquiring land from them.
52

By next year, the company plans to prepare the master plan for the SEZ and simultaneously look for
foreign investors. Once this is done construction part will start.
Dharuhera‐ Rewari Belt
With a positive view of the SEZ market in Haryana, The Rajan Raheja Group is coming up with SEZ in
Dharuhera‐Rewari Belt. The SEZ will be spread across an area of 5000 acres and will be a multi‐product
SEZ. The Central Government has given principal approval for the SEZ and till date 5‐10% land has been
acquired. The placing of this multi‐product SEZ has been done keeping in mind the expansion of
Gurgaon City. The SEZ will come under industrial area once it expands. The group considers that the land
of its SEZ is the best located land in Palwal, Gurgaon near Delhi‐Jaipur railway line.
The major competitors, according to the group, are DLF Limited and Reliance Industries Ltd. Yet it
considers the placing of its SEZ as its strength. They have a unique way of working on SEZs. They plan to
purchase the land directly from the farmers and in return make them partners in the company. They
also intend of providing employment to at least one member of the farmers’ family and share some
percent of profits with them. The construction of multi‐product SEZ will start on the similar lines once
IT/ITES SEZ becomes fully operational.
Raheja’s plan to advertise through various media channels. At later stage, they will be deciding which

specific mode of advertising will be used to attract clients. For the next couple of years main emphasis
will be on acquisition of land.
The plans for this SEZ include rain water harvesting, housing facilities for workers, hotels, recreational
activities, setting up of harvesting plants, corporate farming, electricity production through wind mills,
etc.
According to executive whom we interviewed, Raheja Haryana SEZ Developers Pvt. Ltd. it will take
around 20 years for a fully operational multi‐product SEZ.

The Reliance SEZ at Haryana‐ Development of a Master Plan

Background
Reliance proposes to develop the SEZ in Haryana as part of its vision to develop state‐of‐the‐art
infrastructure for the nation. The SEZ should be able to attract MNC developers as investors also. To this
end, as per Reliance’s internal policies, the norms and standards behind the configuration of
infrastructure will be kept as high as possible.
The National Capital Region includes Delhi and its satellite towns. One third of Haryana is part of the
NCR plan. Gurgaon, Rohtak, Panipat and Faridabad are some of the key districts that have to be
developed as part of the NCR. Haryana already boasts of industrial hubs of Faridabad and Gurgaon. In
the recent past Manesar has been developed as an industrial hub and plans are on way to establish an
Industrial township in Manesar.
In the last decade economic development has taken place in the suburbs of Delhi NCR. It has many
multinationals as well as National Companies shifting and establishing their headquarters in the City.
The development of shopping malls, commercial and residential infrastructure has been tremendous
but there is still a lot to be desired.
55

Learning from these expansions of the NCR
The growth of the suburbs of Delhi has been exponential and has resulted in‐
Gross shortage of both electricity and water in different areas. Lack of a contiguous sewerage

system and a system of appropriate waste disposal.
Unregulated flow of traffic, resulting in traffic. Roads though wide, are not designed to cater to
the overflow of the traffic that is coming in from Delhi. With the coming in of the call centers
that house a large workforce there is a great need for parking areas that are missing
The expected quality of life that was desired from suburbs is missing.

These and some more critical issues will require Reliance to ensure that the project is taken up in a
planned manner on the drawing board with a complete master plan of developing a First World City,
and its continued growing needs.
It is for this reason that the plan will emphasize on the internal development of roads, water supply,
power generation and supply and sewerage. Adequate development of external infrastructure such
as full development of connectivity to the KMP expressway, National Highway (NH 8) will also be of
equal importance. It is proposed to have a Rail Line within the SEZ along with an International
Container Depot. Development of an Airport to cater to the International as well as Domestic needs
of Cargo and Passenger movement will also be a part of the plan. It is proposed by the Haryana
government to extend the Metro Link from Delhi to Manesar. This would provide for linkage to the
proposed SEZ also.
The Focus of the SEZ will be on development of non/low‐polluting medium and large industries, as
also trading and services. All facilities required for industries together with housing for the
entrepreneurs and employees working in the area are being planned for the Special Economic Zone.
The proposed Special Economic Zone will function as an integrated package with all the required
facilities, which will ensure sustainable development of medium and large scale industries and
service activities with sufficient provision for future growth and expansion.
Locating the Reliance SEZ
The intention is to build a fully integrated multi product economic zone. The proposed location will
be off National Highway 8 in Gurgaon and moving north extends into Jhajjar district adjacent to the
proposed Kundli‐Manesar‐Palwal (KMP) expressway. The size of the SEZ will be in excess of 10,000
hectares (25,000 acres).
56

SEZ Master Plan‐ General Considerations
The entrepreneurs who will set up industries in the SEZ would undoubtedly have their own
individual requirements. However, the Master Plan must provide for availability of built‐to‐use
design factories and flatted factories according to the customer’s requirement. Besides, certain
communal‐level facilities will have to be provided such as‐
Amenities in the form of landscape features such as open green areas, green buffers along
the peripheral, green belts as a part of arboricultural scheme, etc.
Facilities for Industrial Waste Management (collection, processing and disposal)
Availability of labor at reasonable cost.
Proximity to source of supply of raw materials
Transportation facilities to allow linkages with raw material sources and ancillary supplies
Uninterrupted availability of power supply, electricity, water, sewerage etc.

Besides, the Master Plan will provide for:‐
Availability of services like security, restaurants, etc. on commercial lines.
Amenities such as clubs, recreation centers, family entertainment centers, auditorium,
community halls, etc.

The SEZ units would, be subject to the local laws, rules and regulations in regard to area planning,
sewerage disposal, pollution control and the like, and it is expected that a single authority clearance for
all matters is created.
While planning the SEZ development, the following factors will be taken into account:
SIZE:
Size of the SEZ is an important issue, especially for a fast expanding region of the NCR. Although as per
present government regulations the minimum size of SEZ should be 1000 hectares, the global
experience as well as per the experience of expanding cities indicates that the size of the land must be
such that it can cater to development of a fully integrated city, with complete amenities such as Airport,
ICD, Rail links as well as a bustling economic activity mix. The size must cater to the demands of the
growing new economic initiatives.
57

Hence in order to build a strong economic zone that has fully integrated systems of infrastructure
Reliance is looking at establishing an SEZ of a size in excess of 10,000 Hectares (25,000 Acres)
Layout:
The whole area will be suitably divided into a number of identified activity centers of different sizes. It is
advisable to develop standardized modules of the plots within the proposed activity mix. This will
automatically allow flexibity in planning to accommodate future development. In addition the layout will
be developed with complete understanding of the phasing program. Integration of the financial aspects
with physical planning aspects is the most important factor for success in implementation.
Management:
Various aspects such as monitoring of the polluting control norms and standards control over goods,
storage and handling of industrial waste, common effluent treatment, etc. need advance planning. The
Master Plan would take into account the relevant aspect of the management of the entire SEZ and the
city.
Services and amenities:
The Master Plan will take into account planning for services and amenities. Advance planning of services
and amenities avoids problems of administration later. Advance planning can substantially reduce the
problems arising from maintenance of infrastructure.
Transportation:
The Mater Plan will lock at the transport linkages. As the SEZ requires regional, national as well as
international linkages for freight movement, it generates a lot of traffic. The plan will have to take into
account the linkages with the NH 8, KMP Expressway, Rail linkages, the Indian Railways as well as Metro
Rail Link to Delhi and the other parts of the country and the development of an Airport for International
traffic. Delhi enjoys the advantages of an advantage of an ideal location at the regional level, as it is a
multi‐ modal transport interchange mode.

tenants include leading international IT firms such as Dell and has roped in international financial
partners to give it the long term capital and financial muscle for faster and better execution of the

in the project.
68

Vipul finds DLF Limited to be its major competitor in this sector. Providing quality products and products
on reasonable prices are few strength of Vipul’s, which they feel keeps them ahead of their competitors.
Vipul say they won’t have to make much of efforts for attracting clients for their SEZ, because according
to them marketing demand push is low in Gurgaon as compared to any other place. Still they would
prefer Media channel promotion for their SEZ.
Vipul is also not very much sure for their SEZ as not yet decided whether to go for SEZ or some other
project. Vipul also say they are here to do business and will always prefer to go for best opportunity with
whom they could make good amount of profit. But, they also mentioned might be they can come up
with something different in this sector.

with second largest (20,000 Acre) Multi‐product SEZ in Haryana as compare to Reliance’s SEZ i.e.
25,000 Acre.
Emaar is coming for largest number of SEZs in Haryana i.e. 10.

Kundli‐Manesar‐Palwal Highway touches most of the Multi‐Product SEZs in Haryana, which is
advantageous due to its connectivity with the SEZs.

acquired).
Most of the companies are waiting for the government policies to stabilize.
Every company believes that there is a positive future for the SEZ market in Haryana.
Many companies believe that won’t be facing any competition. According to their perception
supply would be dominating demand.
Raheja Developer’s are coming up with a unique concept for their SEZ. The farmers from whom
