Dear Mr. Makkad,
What is the basis for saying so?

The SEZ Rules 2006 direct state governments to declare all the activities in the SEZs as ‘public utility services’. Under section 22 of the ID Act, 14-days notice is compulsory before employees undertake a strike or the employers a lockout, in any public utility service. The powers of the labour commissioner are also delegated to the development commissioners of SEZs. These rules now look to be the thin edge of the wedge, spurring a major move by state governments to amend the labour laws (or exempt employers from crucial provisions) in general and specifically the laws for SEZs.

That does not in any way mean that "Trade Union Act is not applicable in Special Economic Zones."
