Large special economic zones (SEZs) are likely to have their own local governance bodies, on the lines of municipal corporations. The commerce and industry ministry is in talks with state governments to prepare guidelines for setting up local governance bodies inside these tax-free industrial enclaves.

The commerce ministry will prepare the guidelines but it is for the state government to adopt them, an official said.
