The Hindu Business Line : DLF keen on SEZ in TN

DLF Ltd, the New Delhi-based infrastructure projects developer, has committed to investing over Rs 10,000 crore in infrastructure projects, including Special Economic Zones, in Tamil Nadu.

According to company officials, at a meeting with the Chief Minister, Mr M. Karunanidhi, here today, the company's Vice-Chairman, Mr Rajiv Khanna, had sought the Government's permission to develop a multi-product SEZ. With the Tamil Nadu Government announcing plans to establish multi-product SEZs in Nanguneri, Hosur and Perambalur, DLF said that the company would be interested in developing any one of these SEZs in the public-private-partnership mode.

According to the official, the Government has expressed its willingness to consider any detailed proposal submitted by the company in this regard. Further progress is expected in the coming week. DLF has also evinced interest in investing in infrastructure projects including airports, roads and bridges in Tamil Nadu. But its primary interest would be in SEZs, the officials said. At the meeting, Mr Khanna also pointed out that the company has close involvement in developing such infrastructure projects, according to the officials.

In Chennai, DLF is setting up an IT SEZ at Manapakkam. It has a built-up area of about 6 million sq ft and land area of about 43 acres. In the pipeline is a major residential project on the Old Mahabalipuram Road.
