Licensing issuing
EPZA is mandated by law to issue EPZ and SEZ licenses. These licenses are synonymous with the business licenses issued by Local Government Authorities and other Regulatory Authorities. Once an Investor obtains a license, he or she does not require any other business license except for highly regulated industries like food and drugs.
Provision of SEZ / EPZ Infrastructure
EPZA is required by law to establish and regulate appropriate industrial and commercial parks to enable faster set up of EPZ and SEZ investments. The development of infrastructure is undertaken by EPZA in collaboration with the private sector. Infrastructure opportunities range from the development of privately owned industrial and/or commercial parks to various forms of Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) with EPZA. Once such infrastructure is developed it is gazetted as an Export Processing Zone as Special Economic Zone and thereafter the Developer may sublease or sell factory space or serviced land on a commercial basis to EPZ or SEZ Users.
