NEW DELHI: The meeting of the empowered group of ministers on special economic zones (SEZs), which was scheduled for Monday to look at important issues like the removal of land ceiling for Reliance’s Jhajjar project and DLF’s Gurgaon project, has been postponed.

The meeting was also scheduled to take a call on the alleged flouting of norms in Essar’s steel SEZ in Hazira.

Without giving a reason for the postponement of the meeting, commerce & industry minister Kamal Nath said a fresh date for the meeting would be decided by the EGoM chairman and external affairs minister, Pranab Mukherjee.
