New Delhi: The Board of Approval (BoA) today cleared 10 special economic zone (SEZ) proposals, including three Mukesh Ambani-promoted IT zones in Navi Mumbai.

The BOA meeting, which was chaired by Commerce Secretary G K Pillai, considered 19 proposals. "Decision on four SEZ proposals in UP, including DLF and Unitech Hi-tech, have been deferred because they do not have possession of land," Pillai told reporters after the meeting. He said as soon the promoters of these proposals get possession of land the proposals would be cleared.

The BoA also gave in-principle approval to the SEZ proposal of Jindal Worldwide (JWL) in Gujarat and to another one in Maharashtra by Arshhiya Technologies spreading over 68 hectares.
