'Review of SEZ policy will not hurt industry'

The periodic review of implementation of the special economic zone policy will not hurt the industry, Commerce Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said on Monday. Responding to supplementaries during Question Hour in Lok Sabha, she said the review is aimed to make the policy more effective but it is not going to "hurt" the industry in any way. In her written response, the minister said the ongoing review and reform, as necessary, of government policy and procedure is inherent to public policy.
