25 acres in case of serviced plots or integrated townships; or
50,000 sq. mtrs. of built-up area for construction development projects
Complete at least 50% of the integrated project within five years from the date of obtaining all clearances.
Do not sell undeveloped plots (with no infrastructural backup). Provide infrastructure and obtain the completion certificate from the concerned local body before disposal.
Do not repatriate original investment before three years from completion of minimum capitalization. Early exits require prior approval of the Foreign Investment and Promotion Board.
