Detailed Summary

This notification, S.O. 4090(E) dated 8th September, 2025, issued by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry (Department of Commerce, SEZ Division), announces the rescission of its earlier Notification Number S.O. 2936(E) dated 17th November, 2009. The previous notification had established a Special Economic Zone for the Solar Photovoltaic sector, covering an area of 10 hectares at Village Thrikkakara North, Taluka Kanayannur, District Ernakulam, in the State of Kerala, based on a proposal from M/s.

The Development Commissioner, Cochin Special Economic Zone, also recommended the de-notification. Consequently, the Central Government, exercising powers conferred by the first proviso to rule 8 of the Special Economic Zones Rules 2006, hereby rescinds the aforementioned notification, with the caveat that things done or omitted before this rescission remain unaffected.
