|    |                        | The development plan consists of a Processing, Zone of 200.25 Ha and a Non Processing Zone of 77.13 Ha. The Processing Zone shall consist of the sectors such as Free Trade Warehousing Zone, Engineering Goods Sector, Electronics and Hardware Sector, Non-Conventional Energy Sector, Multi Services (IT and Healthcare) Sector and Apparel and Textiles Sector. Besides, the other supporting components such as parking, green belt, utilities, security etc. shall be built. The Non-Processing Zone is planned to consist of Housing, Civic Amenities, Commercial and other Utility Infrastructure. The project will also envisage development of external infrastructure which consists of dedicated entry and exit for free movement of traffic, electrical substation and a bulk water pipeline to tap electricity and water for SEZ from nearest sources. In this regard, JNPT has proposed to develop the basic infrastructure for SEZ at JN Port area based on the master plan and Detailed Project report on an EPC basis. The Plot of land for the purpose of development of processing and non-processing areas will be allotted to different SEZ units on a long-term lease basis.   |
