This notification, dated September 8, 2025, concerns the denotification of a Special Economic Zone (SEZ) in Kerala. Ms. Carborundum Universal Limited had previously proposed setting up a 10-hectare SEZ for the Solar Photovoltaic sector in Village Thrikkakara North, Taluka Kanayannur, District Ernakulam, which was initially notified via notification S.O. 2936(E) on November 17, 2009. The company has since proposed denotifying the entire 10-hectare area. The State Government of Kerala has issued a No Objection Certificate for the denotification, ensuring the area will conform to state land use guidelines. The Development Commissioner, Cochin Special Economic Zone, has recommended the proposal. Consequently, the Central Government, exercising powers conferred by rule 8 of the Special Economic Zones Rules 2006, rescinds the original notification, with the rescission not affecting actions already taken or omitted. The notification was issued by the Department of Commerce, SEZ Division, Ministry of Commerce and Industry, and signed by Jt. Secy Vimal Anand (F. No. F.16/2009-SEZ).
