New Delhi: Months after stopping Adani Group from setting up an 1,840-hectare special economic zone (SEZ) in Mundra, the commerce department is set to re-notify the enclave and let the edible oils-to-electricity conglomerate make it contiguous with an existing 6,500 hectare zone.
Sources told TOI that the proposal for re-notification has received the bureaucratic green light and is awaiting a final go ahead from commerce and industry minister Anand Sharma. In the first stage, the plan is to let Adani set up the SEZ. Subsequently, the group will seek “de-notification” of a part of the zone for which approval is in place and then the two would be made contiguous.
