The board gave third extensions of validity of formal approval to eight developers, including Mahindra and Mahindra for a period of one year.
The government, however, deferred the decision on a request from Navi Mumbai SEZ (NSEZ) for splitting itself into five zones, seeking more details from the developer.
"Keeping in view the objections raised by Department of Revenue, the Board directed to constitute a committee to scrutinise the revised proposal of NSEZ for its proper appreciation," an official said.
