SEZ In Karnataka – Investment
Investment to the tune of Rs 3,384 crore and earmarking 112 hectres exclusively for airport-based SEZ has been formally approved. The Centre has given in-principle approvals to only 8 SEZs in Karnataka having total investments of Rs 20,220 crore, including Rs 400 crore from IT/ITeS sectors.
Major and Medium industries minister Murgesh R Nirani said the government would not acquire fertile lands for SEZ.
Much appreciated! Farmers will be taken into confidence before acquiring the land. 20% of the developed land will be held by the farmers from whom the government acquired the land. Also, one member from the farmer’s family will be given employement in the SEZ.
Drying lands, where single crops can be grown, can be acquired from the farmers on a consent basis. If more than 50% of the farmers in any specific location earmarked for SEZs are not in favor of parting with their land, the promoters will not be permitted to pruchase land in such locations.
