The Development Commissioner’s (DC) office at Noida Special Economic Zone (NSEZ) organized a vital stakeholder meeting this evening to coordinate a performance audit conducted by the Office of the Principal Director of Audit (PDC Central), Lucknow. Chaired by Shri Parasmani Tripathi, JDC, and attended by DDC Shri Noman Hafiz and other senior officials, the meeting was supported by SEZEPC NSEZ, which facilitated the participation of 26 member units. The primary focus was on evaluating the zone's operational efficiency, export performance, and infrastructure adequacy, with PAC officials noting that the final report would be forwarded to the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) department.
During the discussion, units raised critical concerns regarding the delay in RoDTEP benefits and the lack of credit in bonds for shipments processed at Dadri port. Significant technical hurdles on the ICEGATE portal, including the slow processing of both import and export shipping documents, were also highlighted as major operational bottlenecks. Additionally, stakeholders requested the availability of customs services on holidays and discussed the high charges levied by the Central Warehousing Corporation (CWC) for shipment examinations. The meeting served as a crucial platform for units to provide direct feedback and suggestions to improve policy effectiveness and streamline zone administration.
