Karnataka SEZ Policy
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. To promote 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 simple and transparent system and
procedures for enhancing productivity and the ease of
doing business.
SEZs can be developed in the public, private or joint
sectors or by the State Governments. They are expected
to promote the establishment of large, self-contained
areas supported by world-class infrastructure oriented
towards export production. Exploiting the full potential
of the concept of SEZs would bring large dividends in
terms of economic and industrial development and the
generation of new employment opportunities.
