The Space Challenge

One of the largest challenges faced by the occupiers of space under the erstwhile STPI ruling is that there is no other space to consider barring a SEZ that offers tax benefits. The further challenge to obtain space in an SEZ is the area being offered by the developers which is too large to accommodate a medium or small enterprise. The sheer administrative responsibilities that come with allowing a company to occupy SEZ space make it prohibitive for a developer to consider managing multiple small units of space with different tenants or financially viable for an occupier to pay for unutilised space.

The future for the SEZ Model lies in the ability of developers to meet the requirements of these occupiers who were in a position to obtain smaller units of space under the STPI Regime. A larger percentage of currently eligible SEZ occupiers fall into this category and are the prime focus of the tax incentives as extended by the government. A larger occupier already has the resources to develop and manage their own SEZ units while obtaining tax sops. The government is taking positive steps towards the revival of the SEZ scheme and it will be very reassuring to both developers and occupiers to see the result of these changes. A specifically positive step taken is the reduction in the minimum area required for the development of SEZ especially in the Tier-2 cities. Further by reducing the space requirement for industries apart from IT/ITeS, it ensures that there is an all round development across sectors.
