CONCLUSION
SEZ policy has no doubt given a boost to the Indian Economy but comparison of implementation with other
countries brings out lacunas in India’s SEZ Policy.
The reasons for disparities can be attributed to many reasons as listed below.
1. Improper SEZ policy
2. Irresponsible planning while locating SEZ
3. Ineffective Land Acquisition Policies
4. Improper Rehabilitation Policy
Key challenges in the SEZS programme will be
 Due exercise of control while approving and locating SEZ’s.
 Compensation for acquisition shall be on the basis of market prices .
 Give share of acquired land ¡n the developed area to the owners.
 Provision of employment for Landless labourers.
 Provision of revenue for ULBs on sharing basis to compensate their withdrawal once the areais notified
as SEZ.
 Development of SEZs needs to be integrated with existing Master Plans and Regional Plans.
 There is need to develop regional/sub regional plan around the SEZ areas.
