General200939 sections13 chapters

The Gujarat Special Investment Region Act, 2009 establishes a framework for creating, developing, and managing large-scale industrial areas and economic zones in Gujarat. It applies to government agencies, project developers, businesses, and property occupants operating within designated investment regions and surrounding peripheral zones. The law matters because it creates specialized administrative bodies, such as the Apex Authority and Regional Development Authorities, to streamline approvals through a single-window system. By designating these zones as industrial townships outside standard local authority jurisdiction, the Act accelerates infrastructure development, master planning, and private sector participation to boost industrial growth and economic development across the state.
