SEZ POLICY
SPECIAL ECONOMIC ZONE
PREAMBLE
Special Economic Zones (SEZs) are specifically delineated duty-free enclaves treated as a foreign territory for the purpose of industrial, service and trade operations, with exemption from customs duties and a more liberal regime in respect of other levies, foreign investment and other transactions. Domestic regulations, restrictions and infrastructure inadequacies are sought to be eliminated in the SEZs for creating a hassle-free environment. The SEZ Scheme seeks to create a transparent system by introducing simplified procedures for enhancing productivity and making it easier to do business.
According to Government of India Guidelines, SEZs can be developed in the public, private or joint sectors, or by the State Governments. They are expected to promote establishment of large, self-contained areas supported by world-class infrastructure oriented towards export production. Exploiting the full potential of the concept, SEZs would bring large dividends to the State in terms of economic and industrial development and generation of new employment opportunities.
Development Commissioner shall be deemed to be appropriate Development Authority for the notified area of SEZ.
