Special Economic Zones (SEZs) in India are designated areas aimed at promoting exports, attracting investments, and creating employment through special laws and incentives. The SEZ policy has evolved since 1965, with significant features including duty-free imports, 100% foreign direct investment, and tax exemptions. Despite challenges such as land acquisition and regulatory hurdles, SEZs play a crucial role in India's export growth and are essential for achieving the country's economic goals.
