SPECIAL ECONOMIC ZONE
In India, designated regions with unique economic laws known as Special Economic Zones (SEZs) are meant to attract international investment, increase exports, and foster economic expansion. SEZs were created by the Indian government in the early 2000s as a component of its liberalization program.
SEZs provide a number of benefits, including single-window clearance for establishing and running firms, streamlined business processes, and exemptions from taxes and levies on the import and export of commodities. SEZs can be created for a variety of industries, including manufacturing, IT, pharmaceuticals, textiles, and more, and they can be created by both public and private sector organizations. SEZs have been effective in increasing exports from India and drawing in international investment. Additionally, they have produced job openings, particularly in the IT and manufacturing industries. To address some of the issues SEZs encounter and to make them more investor-friendly, the Indian government has implemented changes in recent years.
