Odisha SEZ policy clears finance dept hurdle.

Odisha's Special Economic Zone (SEZ) policy has moved a step forward with the finance department giving its consent to incentives offered in the draft policy statement.

The finalisation of the state specific SEZ policy is crucial since many big industrial investors like Tata Steel and Vedanta were awaiting it to avail the incentives.

'After the go-ahead from the finance department, the draft policy would now move to other relevant departments like revenue & disaster management, energy, water resources and forest & environment. After receiving suggestions/objections from these departments, we will give a final shape to the pending policy,' said a source at industries department.
