Integrated Cotton Ginning and Spinning Units which have not sought the status of Mega Projects would be eligible for incentives under the Industrial Policy, 2003, including exemption from payment of market fee as per Para 11.4.2(i). This would be for a period of ten years from the date of issue of the notification. 2. Units that have availed of the benefit under the Mega Projects Scheme but have now sought benefits under the 2003 Policy e.g. Cotton Units seeking exemption from market fee, would be eligible for incentives and concessions only under one specific package i.e. either the Industrial Policy of 2003 or the standard package of the incentives of Mega Projects finalized in November, 2007, as per their choice.” 4. Learned counsel for the State also states that Market Fee will also cover Rural Development Fee and further action as per above decision will be taken within one month. 5. In view of above, learned counsel for the petitioner does not press this petition at this stage. 6. Dismissed as not pressed. ( Adarsh Kumar Goel ) Judge ( Alok Singh ) Judge 27.01.2010 sk.
