Trade With India -special Economic Zones Fuelling India’s Export Growth Graph
By Mayur Dicosta
Indian Trade Exports have received a radical boost in the recent years, thanks to the 274 Special Economic Zones (SEZs) operational on the Indian soil, since April 2000. In the fiscal year 2007-2008, India’s exports from the functional SEZs, were up 92 percent at Rs, 66, 638 against Rs. 34, 615 in the previous year.


Exports from the functioning SEZs during the last five years

Year Exports (Rs. Crores) Growth rate of exports
2003-2004 13,854 39%
2004-2005 18,314 32%
2005-2006 22,840 25%
2006-2007 34,615 52%
2007-2008 66,638 92%

Clearly, SEZs have emerged as the key that have opened new door of opportunities for foreign players to Trade with India. They have emerged as one of the strongest pillars contributing to India’s Export growth.

SEZ- Overall Scenario

India was one among the foremost Asian countries that toyed with the idea of setting up an Export Processing Zone (EPZ) model to promote Indian exports. The idea translated into realty in 1965, with the first EPZ being launched in Kandla. However, in an attempt to further smoothen the roads for MNCs to trade with India, a need was felt to flaunt something new, precisely a zone that will make up for all the missing elements that came in the way, while promoting Indian exports, be it, stifling controls and clearances, under- rated infrastructure facilities and a oscillating fiscal regime and so forth. All this negative factors influenced the announcement of Special Economic Zones Policy in April 2000.

The principal objective of the policy was to promote SEZs as a prime driver for economic growth, by factoring in aspects such as, quality infrastructure coupled with compelling fiscal packages, and bare minimum regulations.

Broadly speaking, the objectives for launching SEZs in April 2000 are as follows:

• to promote trade with India, especially exports of goods and services

• to create more economic activity

• to attract investment from domestic and foreign sources

• to generate more employment opportunities

• to develop modern infrastructure facilities

Special Economic Zones can be defined as a specific region that has economic laws that are more flexible than a country’s usual economic laws. SEZs are a living roof of the potential of export-led growth strategy in propelling a nation’s into higher growth plane.

The Indian SEZ policies promote establishing of these zones in the government, private or joint sector. This policies offer brilliant opportunities, inviting both Indian and International foreign players to set up operations in India for manufacturing of goods and services. The units set up in the zone, need to be foreign exchange earners but will be free from any value addition or minimum export promotion requirements.

The Government of India has converted around eight EPZs into SEZs, to attract foreign players to trade with India. This include, Kandla and Surat (Gujarat), Cochin (Kerala), Santa Cruz (Mumbai-Maharashtra), Falta (West Bengal), Madras (Tamil Nadu), Visakhapatnam (Andhra Pradesh) and Noida (Uttar Pradesh).
