India established the first Export Processing Zone (EPZ) in Asia in 1965.
The first EPZ was set up at Kandla (now Deendayal Port) in Gujarat, India.
EPZs were later replaced by the Special Economic Zone (SEZ) policy in India, starting in 2000, to provide a stable policy regime and encourage foreign investment.
