UPSC NDA-1 – 2016
The correct answer is Special Economic Zones (SEZs).
Special Economic Zones (SEZs) are specifically designated areas in a country with special economic regulations that differ from the rest of the country. They are designed to promote trade, investment, job creation, and effective administration. SEZs are typically supported by quality infrastructure and often include attractive fiscal packages, such as tax incentives, customs duty exemptions, and streamlined procedures, to attract domestic and foreign businesses.
Export Processing Zones (EPZs) are an earlier form of SEZs, primarily focused on promoting exports through tariff exemptions and simplified customs procedures. Duty Free Tariff Zones (DFTFs) are areas where goods can be imported and exported without customs duties, often used for trading and re-processing. Technology Parks are areas focused on promoting technology and IT-related industries, often with specialized infrastructure but not necessarily the broad fiscal and regulatory benefits of a full SEZ. SEZs encompass a broader mandate for economic growth across various sectors, supported by comprehensive policies and infrastructure.
