Ministry of Commerce itself has filed objections against Maha Mumbai SEZ.The Ministry has raised the following objections, Huge Agricultural Land acquisition from surrounding villagers, who have filed a complaint with Ministry of Commerce. Several thousand workers of existing JawaharLal Nehru Port Trust are affected. Large Export oriented business houses have been affected and have thus filed complaints directly with commerce ministry.
Commerce Secretary G K Pillai has asked the Board of Approvals to direct the Maharashtra State Government to look into the land acquisition issues and has further stated that No Government Lands should be sold but instead leased to the SEZ developer. Gujarat Government was the first to start lease Government Lands to SEZ developers for a period of 30 years.
