SEZ act or SEZ Rules makes it very clear that , existing unit can open Branch in SEZ with fresh investment.

well as a Special Economic Zone Unit, it shall have two distinct identities
with separate books of accounts, but it shall not be necessary for the
Special Economic Zone unit to be a separate legal entity:"
