What Is a Special Economic Zone (SEZ)?
 A special economic zone (SEZ) is an area in which
the business and trade laws are different from the rest
of the country.

  SEZs are located within a country's national borders,

and their aims include increasing trade balance,
employment, increased investment, job creation and
effective administration.

 The creation of special economic zones by the host

country may be motivated by the desire to attract 
foreign direct investment (FDI).

 The benefits a company gains by being in a special

economic zone may mean that it can produce and trade
goods at a lower price, aimed at being globally competitive

 SEZ are set up in order to attract foreign investors to invest

in India, SEZ are brought with world class facilities , water ,
electricity , roads , transport , storage etc..
