The Special Economic Zones (SEZs) Policy was
announced in April 2000 with a view to attract larger foreign
investments to create world-class infrastructure for development,
operation, maintenance and stable fiscal regime.
Every SEZ is divided into a processing area where
alone the SEZ units would come up and the non-processing area where the
supporting infrastructure is to be created. Specific industrial
infrastructure facilities, appropriate & adequate social
infrastructure facilities and the right atmosphere & environment of
regional, urban and industrial scale with sustainability are the
requirements for aspiring multi-product manufacturers, exporters and
service providers in any SEZ.
The SEZ infrastructure includes well-planned
judicious land, open and green spaces, water bodies, road, business and
residential complex, hospitals, hotels, educational institutions,
leisure, recreational and entertainments, ware houses, airports,
railways, transport system, ,boundary wall, weigh bridge, Gate cabin,
SEZ Admin office, Police stations, fire stations and other utilities
including water source, treated water, rain water harvesting, treated
effluent disposal, temperature control, generations and distribution of
power, telecommunications, data transmission networks, natural gas,
,etc.
The SEZ infrastructure to be environmentally
sustainable buildings designed, constructed and operated to minimize the
total environmental impact. Environment friendly & resource
efficient process at each stage of construction right from site
selection, design, construction , operations and maintenance namely
increasing the efficiency w.r.t Materials , energy and water and
reducing building impact on human health and environment.
The construction materials with less toxicity, low
off gassing of harmful air emission, durable, rapidly renewal ,high
recyclable and harvested. Use of high energy efficient plants and
machineries, natural day lighting and thermal comfort increases comfort
& create healthier environment for people to live & work by
improved air quality.
Reduced consumption of water with water efficient low
flow sanitary fixtures and CP fittings, waste water management, micro
irrigation, recirculation of centralized hot water ,rain water
harvesting and optimized use of energy substantially reduce the cost
of operations and contribute to the sustainability in a long way.
