Special Economic Zones in India and Global Engineering Brands
A special economic zone (SEZ) can be simply defined as a geographical representation of a region having certain economic laws and regulations. These laws however are liberal as compared to any other conventional economic laws in a country. At the same time, SEZ is a “trade capacity developmental” tool. The aim is to promote rapid economic growth by using business incentives and tax that helps in attracting foreign technology and investment.
Similarly, Special Economic Zones in India can be looked upon as an engine for economic development assisted by high-end infrastructure and lucrative fiscal package, both at the State and Central level, within minimum regulations. The primary objectives of SEZ are as listed below-

Several companies from India and abroad have participated in the Indian SEZ. There have been also cases when engineering consultancy services came forward and gave their best to develop these regions. These organizations apart from dealing in manufacturing and engineering requirements in domains such as engineering, aerospace, and automotive have contributed significantly in establishing the special economic zones in India.
The first ever-notified Aerospace Precision Engineering and Manufacturing SEZ is located in Karnataka. This development spans across total expanse of 300 acres in Belgaum, equipped to expand the Aerospace Precision Engineering and Manufacturing supply ecosystem. Exclusive benefits of SEZ are-
-
Sustainable Support at the Special Economic Zone
-
An Eco-friendly, Organic and Sustainable Industrial Environment
-
