Special economic zones (SEZs) in India are areas that offer incentives to resident businesses. SEZs typically offer competitive infrastructure, duty free exports, tax incentives<\/a>, and other measures designed to make it easier to conduct business. Accordingly, SEZs in India are a popular investment destination for many multinationals, particularly exporters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While India\u2019s SEZs are similar to those found in other parts of Asia, business leaders that are considering setting up<\/a> in a SEZ should seek to understand how SEZs work in India. Each SEZ is unique. Many business leaders conduct market entry studies<\/a> that compare sites, resources, incentives, and costs before making site visits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Indian government had long used export processing zones (EPZs) to promote exports. In fact, Asia\u2019s first EPZ was established in 1965 at Kandla<\/a>, Gujarat state. While these EPZs had a similar structure to SEZs, the government began to establish SEZs in 2000 under the Foreign Trade Policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The government sought to use SEZs to redress the infrastructural and bureaucratic challenges that were seen to have limited the success EPZs. The government\u2019s SEZs are structured closely on China\u2019s successful model<\/a>. They are designed to encourage domestic and foreign investment<\/a>, boost India\u2019s exports<\/a>, and create new employment opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Special Economic Zone Act, 2005<\/a><\/em> further amended the country\u2019s SEZ policy. Many EPZs were converted to SEZs, with notable zones in Noida (Uttar Pradesh state), Falta (West Bengal state), Visakhapatnam (Andhra Pradesh state), Chennai (Tamil Nadu state), Cochin (Kerala state), Santa Cruz (Maharashtra state), Indore (Madhya Pradesh), as well as Kandla and Surat (Gujarat).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Since the Act\u2019s promulgation, the Indian government has also accepted proposals for additional, far smaller SEZs, which must be proposed by developers to the Indian Board of Approval<\/a>. The SEZ Rules, 2006<\/a><\/em> lay down the complete procedure to develop a proposed SEZ or establish a unit in an SEZ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At least\u00a0221 SEZs are in operation<\/a>, and by January 2018, a massive\u00a0423 have received\u00a0formal approval for operation<\/a>. While some observers argue that India\u2019s SEZs have not become as successful as those in China, India\u2019s SEZs remain an important\u00a0sourcing and manufacturing destination<\/a>\u00a0for foreign investors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Leia mais<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 2 minutos<\/small> Special economic zones (SEZs) in India are areas that offer incentives to resident businesses.
