Historical background
- From ancient times Harappan, Roman to mediaevaltimes and later
- Small fenced-in areas specializing in manufacturing forexports
- Modern times Free ports Aden, Singapore, Hong Kong
Difference- Modern version of export zones starting from Puerto
Rico (USA), Shannon International Airport in Ireland in1959 latter considered the first one
- India Kandla in 1965. EPZs in Taiwan, S. Korea andother countries
- Since 1979, most extensive, large and successful SEZs inPRC (China)
- After early start, India slow in following up- Recent interest in India

- Starting with Kandla in 1965; SEEPZ in 1972, Basedon reviews of working, Cochin, Falta, Madras(Chennai) and NOIDA in 1984 and Vizag in 1989
- Very limited impact
- Less than 40% of approvals fructified- Rest cancelled or lapsed
- Employed only 0.01% of labour force- FDI was less than 20% of total investment
- Accounted for less than 4% of exports. Net exportmuch lower as imports were over 60% of exports

SWOT Analysis for Indian SEZs Strengths:
Skilled Manpower knows English Worldwide acceptance of capabilities in
fields like Pharmaceutical manufacturing &
research Manufacturing auto parts Engineering designing & consultancy,
IT & ITES
Entertainment etc etc Financial & other institutional Networks Attraction of a large Indian market:
growing middle class with purchasepower

SWOT Analysis for Indian SEZs Weakness :
Infrastructure bottlenecks connectinginfrastructure like Roads leading toSEZs.
Political changes
Convertibility of Currency on CapitalA/c Red Tape Labour reforms
Zones by & large are still zones notsmart cities. Inappropriate locations Long gestation period 4 to 5 years in
absence of infrastructure development.

SWOT Analysis for Indian SEZs
Opportunities :
An alternative manufacturing base,particularly compared to Chinese SEZs.
Services SEZs do not require movement of input and output physically and hence,surrounding infrastructure may not matter much.
For multi-product SEZs, almost 23 ports areavailable. Most of them are likely to be EDIcompliant.
New small ports & airports are also beingdeveloped keeping SEZ concept in mind.

SWOT Analysis for Indian SEZs Threats :
Loosing edge of low labour costs - manycountries are competing.
Formation of economic blocks, Effect onGovernment Revenues.
Negotiations for FTAs with many countriesmay erode competitiveness.
The pattern of buying & selling may notcontinue. With relocations of industries inother third world countries, newcompetitors will emerge.

providing generous tax breaks would divertexisting (or already planned) investment intothese zones. FM calculated the resulting tax lossat a staggering Rs 100,000 crore (Rs 1,000billion) .
It is a safe heaven for tax free investment by richindustrialists.
Govt find it as a excuse for not paying attentionto infrastructure problem of the whole country.
SEZ: A Bane
8/6/2019 What Are SEZs (Special Economic Zones)
36/38
No freedom from labour laws evenin SEZ.
The difference between farm land
price and urban property price willprovide Billions for developers. According to the laws domestic
investments are also allowed. Gift wrapping of valuable farm
land to Industrialists. Small size,so no significant benefit
SEZ: A Bane
8/6/2019 What Are SEZs (Special Economic Zones)
37/38
Tax Breaks are not too much more thanalready given for infra development. Minimum size should be fixed. Separate labour laws should be prepared
Fixed apportionment of land for differentpurposes.
Increased control of govt. The policy should be revised and benefits
on domestic investment must be reduced.
