Jharkhand one of the most preferred destination for investment,
both from inside and outside the country and to ensure accelerated
implementation of infrastructure related projects, increasing
employment opportunities, improving productivity, ensuring
homogenous and balanced development of all Geographical
regions of the State with emphasis on development of small,
tiny and cottage industries.

view to augment infrastructure facilities for export production.
Setting up of Special Economic Zones is permitted in the public,
private, joint sector or by the State Governments. These SEZs
are to be deemed foreign territory for tariff and trade operations.
With the background
of Government of India guidelines for SEZs, the state has
formulated its SEZ policy to provide a comprehensive framework
for establishment operations and sustainability of SEZs
in the state. The concept of SEZ is expected to bring large
dividends to the state in terms of economic and industrial
development and the generation of new employment opportunities.
The SEZs are expected to be engines for economic growth.
