NEW DELHI: The Central Government on Tuesday cleared 46 new special economic zones (SEZs), including two multi-product SEZs spread over 2,000 hectares to be set up by Essar in Jamnagar and the AP Industrial Infrastructure Corporation in Vishakapatnam. While the SEZ promoted by Essar would have an area of 2,470 hectares, the APIIC's project will be spread over 2,309 hectares, according to a release issued here. Apart from a multiple product SEZ, AIIPC's 111 hectare SEZ for electronic hardware has been approved by Commerce Minister Kamal Nath. Tuesday's approval takes the number of aprovals to 150, as 104 SEZs had been cleared earlier. Of these 46 SEZ, as many as nine are in Maharashtra, seven in Andhra Pradesh, five in Karnataka and four each in West Bengal and Tamil Nadu. Three proposals of SEZs from Gujarat and Haryana have been cleared, while two SEZs each have been given the go ahead in Uttar Pradesh, Kerala, Punjab and Uttaranchal. One SEZ each has been cleared in Rajasthan, Goa and Pondicherry. Senior Cabinet Ministers Sharad Pawar and Dayanidhi Maran have written to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to remove the limit (150) on the number of SEZs. — PTI
