Reliance Haryana SEZ, a joint venture between Reliance Ventures Ltd -- an Reliance Industries subsidiary, and Haryana State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation has so far bought 7,001 acres of land in Jhajjar district and about 1,200 acres and 1,383.68 acres of HSIIDC land in Gurgaon.
Created to develop special economic zones in the northern state, Reliance Haryana SEZ Ltd is a joint venture between Reliance Ventures Ltd, an RIL subsidiary, and Haryana State Industrial Investment Development Corporation.
With an aim of roping in a strategic partner for its Haryana SEZ project, corporate giant Reliance Industries is believed to be in talks with IL&FS and a couple of other players for part-sale of its stake.
The JV was established for development of SEZs/Model Economic Township project and other infrastructure facilities in Haryana.
The price surge at Jhajjar has more to do with skyrocketing land prices near the SEZ site plus a recent rumour that the Haryana government may increase the minimum price for land acquisition to more than Rs 55 lakh (Rs 5.5 million) per acre.
Reliance Industries Ltd said its two other proposed SEZs in Mumbai would contribute Rs 50,000 crore (Rs 500 billion) to the country's exports once they are operational.\n
